Re: Still not found a satisfactory Momentary push switch

["psghome2002" <psghome@xxxxxxx>]

I just wrote a whole paragraph explaining how I'd spoken to several=20
wholesalers who said it wasn't available - until I had a thought and=20
actually looked closer at the 2000/2001 MK catalogue I stole from a=20
wholesaler the other day.

Now it looks like there isn't a push to make switch available in the=20
standard logic plus plateswitch range BUT by using a 'Grid Plus=20
frontplate' (similar sloped top to the logic plus range) with=20
the 'grid plus' switch modules, we should get what we want. The part=20
No's are:

K3631 WHI   White 1 module frontplate
K3632 WHI   White 2 module frontplate  etc...
K4910 WHI   20A DP one-way push to make switch module

I presume this is the right switch to use, their catalogue labeling=20
is a bit confusing as they have push switches and push to make=20
switches (both appear to be rocker switches).

The only other question I would have on these switches are that the=20
MK bell push switches I tried are pretty stiff to push (not=20
desireable as light switches). I wonder whether other push to make=20
switches are similar (a function of being able to switch 20A without=20
undue arcing?)
