4.8mm connectors will fit, if you're using metric gear.

I think they're called Tab Connectors or Quick Release Connectors, if that helps your searches.

The tab on the microswitches is .187.  The color of the crimp connector is dependant on the gauge of wire you are using

16-22 Red
14-16 Blue
10-12 Yellow

I was able to find .187 disconnects at my local hardware store.  Divemaster sells these http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=47066.0 100 for $5.99.  Bob Roberts also sells them http://www.therealbobroberts.net/conectas.html 50 for $5.00.

It depends on the switch.  It can be .250 as well.
