Punchout Button
wbassett:
I'm looking for a Punch Out button, the big spring button in the lower right corner.
Anyone know where I can buy something like this?
iscariot:
I think I've seen something like that for industrial purposes like operating lifts, mounted on walls and the like.
wbassett:
yeah I have seen similar buttons in our server bays for the emergency power down kill buttons.
Does anyone know where we can buy them?
I can get the cp for $60, I'm just trying to determine if I could build it cheaper.
RandyT:
FWIW, I've seen a number of these types of switches on industrial equipment, but never with a big, heavy spring under it like appears to be the case here. If that's what that is, then it's likely a special mod of the aforementioned industrial buttons. Those buttons usually aren't cheap either.

More Info:
These buttons are called "Mushroom Head" or "Mushroomhead" switches. You want the momentary type, which are a little less common than the twist or pull type emergency stops. If the blue one on that panel has a big spring under it, it's possible that it was a retrofit of push / pull to turn it into momentary. If you get a regular momentary, you shouldn't need to worry about the spring.
But again, they run about $30 each, so you might just be ahead of the game by buying the panel.
