Best place to buy microswitches

Pages: (1/2) > >>

I finally wired up my control panel when I realized some of the microswitches had the .250 terminal and some had .187.  The quick connectors i bought are for .250 so i figured I would just buy some new microswitches.  Any suggestions on where to buy them?  I saw them at happ for about a buck a piece.  I also notices they sell .1 amp and 10 amp.   Which do I need?

AlexC:

it would be cheaper to buy some .187 quick connectors   :P

many of the microswitches were pulled out of another old machine and should probably be replaced anyway.  I also want to keep them all the same.  Both my joysticks and all my bew buttons have the .250 connector.

Q*Bert_OP:

if it's just for signal, .1 amp is fine...

I don't think that you will have any problems using the .250 connectors on the .187 switches.  I have done this and had no problems in my CP.  Just use a pliers to squeeze the QD a little bit to make sure the the QD will stay connected.

**Edit, The .250 refers to the width of the connector so the larger will fit on the smaller blade of the switch.
