USA source for rotary spst switch?

[riotubes]

Looking for a rotary spst switch to use as on/off for DAC. I want to affix a wood knob to the spindle, so I don't want one with an integral knob. 120VAC...around 5 amp. Suggestions on source?

A push button type spst swtich would also work. Just want to use a round wood knob. Something other than a rocker or toggle.

Do these stop once they click on, or keep turning?

Cheers!

Gregg, are you going to use a wood knob? If this is the direction you're going, are you aware of any sources?

I'm going to order apex jr's switch too.

Hi Mike,

I'll be getting knobs from Steve as well, or a supplier in China.

I'm not a fan of wood knobs....

These switches are nice:

5 watts at 125v.

DPDT - gives you some options! I guess if you wired the poles in parallel the rating would increase...

How do I wire this switch?

This 2 position rotary switch is a DPDT. Would be interested in using as an On/Off switch. How do I wire it? My experience is limited to SPST toggles.

I want to take the the hot pin of IEC inlet to a fuseholder, and from fuseholder to this Switch, and then from switch to positive lead of transformer. I want to take the neutral on IEC inlet direct to neutral lead of transformer, and IEC earth to chassis ground. Can I wire this DPDT in this arrangement and, if so, how? It has 6 pins. It's rated 5amps.
