Button sizes!?!
« on: February 26, 2007, 08:51:43 am »
Hey all!

I usually use the Happ comp. buttons, but now I have some control panels
that have smaller holes, so they won't fit!

Does anyone know where I can get buttons where the 'neck' is a little
smaller(width)?

Thanks,

Nicholas

Is this what you are looking for? Refer to the schematic at the bottom for hole size.

Well, I'd have to measure first...but it seems that they are only shorter!?

I hate too small holes!

Momentary Contact Pushbuttons looks as Sanwa 30mm. If these have the same size as Sanwa 30mm then are short ad width is bigger than Happ comp.

Your holes can be for Sanwa 24mm (24mm diameter) pushbuttons.
What is diameter your holes?

Competition pushbuttons have a 1-1/8" mounting hole. These call for  a 0.94 mounting hole.

Yes, you are right, I didn't notice schematic :D

Then these are the same size as Sanwa 24mm.

http://akihabarashop.com/products.html <- Excellent service, but for a small order you might be better off with that German link.
