Thread pitch for volcano buttons?
« on: May 23, 2006, 09:01:48 am »
I don't have any so I can't measure the threads.  I think I located some used switches that are similar to or identical to these but at a better price.  Before I buy them I want to check to see if the threads are the same.
Thanks.

I have no way to measure the pitch but the diameter of the thread is 11.75 mm (.4625").  The nuts that come with the switches requre a 5/8" wrench.  The lens has a diameter of 8.75 mm (.3445").  Hope that helps.
I recently picked up some used switches at a surplus store that I was able to convert.  There's more info on my site.

rdagger, that info is what I needed.  Turns out that the lens diameter is too small for what we need.
Thanks for the info!
Damn it.  Back to square one.
