My Kingdom for a good switch

MattCassidy · 12th July 2004, 12:04 PM

I am desparate for a nice switch.

In Australia. I am after a pushbutton latching switch, preferably in the vandal resistant style, steel or similar...Need a 240Volt 7.5amp double pole.

Any help much appreciated!

...you mean something like this (even has a dual colour LED)?

It's a selfmade switch, because those vandalism proof switches are not latching and very expensive...

The basis for this switch is a heavy duty computer power supply switch. Together with a friend I'm working on a preamp & poweramp project, and these are the switches he made.

Here's how it looks inside:

Those are really nice switches. Any chance of a tutorial?

I'll put the whole project online as soon as it is finished. However, this will take some more time.

To build the switch, you need access to a lathe.

Another idea for MathCassidy: You can buy a non-latching vandalism proof switch and use only the mechanical parts to create your own switch.
