Looking for a nice switch

[Cvilledustin]

Hi peoples I'm looking for a nicer switch for my ptn04050 mod. I have a couple of the MV big round switches but they stick out so far so I'm looking for a nice low profile switch , metal would be nice. I'm thinking like 3 amps should be good. Ideas??

I have used this switch and it is excellent. Only 2mm height outside of the enclosure. Pretty deep inside so it does require a bit larger box.

The link will show as "invalid request" but it will take you to the switch at Digi-Key.

That's exactly what I was looking for. It does seem kinda long though. Gonna have to do some measuring

Fegbri for the win. That one should look real clean if it will fit in my box.

I bought the switch that Fegbri suggested but did not use it as the spring pressure is too stiff IMO. I went with this one instead and I am loving it: 12mm 12V 3V Hight Head Push Button Angel Eye Blue LED Metal Switch Momentary US | eBay

Hey johnny. How does that switch feel? Clicky? I like a switch that has a little force to push it. That way it won't fire by accident laying it down

The one I used is not clicky. It has light spring pressure. So if you want a heavier spring, don't get this one! It's not clicky at all.

Have you seen better than 10,000,000 cycles?
I like these, MEC Miniature PCB push button Multimec 3CTL6 1 x off/(on) N/A 24 Vdc 50 mA from Conrad Electronic UK
They're clicky with a soft feel, I like the look of them too.
