Title: Button sizes!?!
Post by: AE35 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

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?

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

Then these are the same size as Sanwa 24mm.
