Sub miniature toggle switch

electrotor · January 20, 2014, 11:20:40 AM

I'm modding my Phantom tx to add a front panel tilt control and switch. I would like to use a toggle switch very similar to the original switches already on the tx but can't seem to find any with a flat handle, except in large quantities from the Far East. Anyone got a UK source?

Thanks guys.
Its the flat paddle/lever type I am looking for, exactly like the ones on the Turnigy switch set. I can easily get the normal rounded paddle lever. Pity the switch set is not available from Hobbyking's UK warehouse.
I know I'm being too fussy but I'll keep looking. Digifleet used to do them but that was well and truly last century.

It seems that what I need is an NKK Switches M2011ES1W01. Available at Farnell, Digikey and Mouser but at £12 - £15 for delivery I might stop being so fussy. :o
Anyway thanks again guys.

I think orders over 15 or 20 quid ship free from Farnell I have never paid postage... Just add some of those handy header pins and sockets, led's are always handy to have too...

Sorted now. The handling charge was high because the switch I chose was from US stock, otherwise above £20 there is no charge.
Many thanks.
