Best place to buy microswitches
shredso:
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
shredso:
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...
Kaytrim:
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.
