I need to find a source for about 200 switches that can be mounted
into a round hole in 20 guage steel approximately 7/16 diameter.
Preferably they will have spade lugs for push on crimp type terminals,
but solder tabs or screws although a bit more inconvenient would work
too. Something will be secured up against this switch, and in the
event this equipment is removed the circuit will short and signal an
alarm. The switch must stick out of the hole about 1/4 inch. The
amount that the switch button will travel to break the circuit is not
critical and can range from about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch. The
application is 24V low current and DC. These switches, at the
customer's request must be UL listed. I would like to find a surplus
source for these if possible as profit margin may be somewhat higher,
however if that is not possible then an OEM would be OK too. Can
anyone please try to point me in the right direction? Thanks very
much. Lenny.
