I'm trying to track down a part used in my oil vent damper. It's a limit switch operated by a cam. It failed due to fusing of contacts after many years.
When I look up AVM3405P9, I find one hit for a AVM 3415P9 with a lever. It might be the same switch with a lever, but I can't be certain.
Does anyone know a supplier for this switch?

That's what I suspected. Field Controls probably orders a special version without the levers. I found a dealer that sells them cheap, so I may just buy a bunch and remove the levers. These tend to fail stuck closed, and when that happens, it causes a momentary excess current flow when the cam turns and another switch energizes while the first is stuck. Blew traces off the board and made an audible pop. Repaired board, but one or more switches is bad.
The same micro switch is sold in different versions of actuator, like lever, rollers, and other variations.
Cherry, Omron and others should be making them, Gilard also makes them in India.
The mounting and current rating are the important things to check while ordering.
Should be easy to find at parts stores.
BTW, a similar switch is common in computer mice, mass produced item.
I have no ties to any named companies above.

This one seems to be very similar - check the dimensions , mounting holes etc from the datasheets

Nice find! quadtech. The Omron SS-10D is similar in overall dimensions and is a through hole PC pin version of SS-10, the mounting hole spacing is within 0.5mm.

The SS-10 is not a PCB pin style however and will not insert into the PCB I have.
I think I'll try ordering the ones from MPJA electronics and see if they work. Less than $10 shipped.
They are like 25 cents here, good quality.
See if the shipping is less, as sometimes a fixed charge is levied, so a larger quantity, or other things you need, will cost you much less in combined shipping.

$2 for package of 5. I bought two packages. Can't believe how cheap, given the price of other stuff like even common resistors.
The power of mass production. They have special automatic assembly machines.
Just an example, I have seen Italian mold makers saying successful production of 14,400 hypodermic syringe barrels per hour, like 30 years back.
And many soda / cola bottles are made in 144 cavity molds cycling at less than 10 seconds, that is in millions per year.

That's a different style than the ones I'm needing. This is what I bought from Surplus Sales of Nebraska today.
A set of tags riveted to a Bakelite strip, those are also in current production here, at least till 2 years back!
But it is a real slow selling item, good you stocked up.
