> > David B, any insight on narrowing down the 13,988 toggles they have listed? > I filtered for 12v and they show 0 results? > You have to be careful filtering because some of them are very specific; no switch called out as 12V but more than likely all 13,000 of them could be used on 12V. You need the switch to be able to handle an amp or less of 12VDC -- generally speaking you can use a switch that's rated for say five amps at 125VAC to carry the same current at 12VDC (but a switch rated for say 20VDC cannot be used for 125VAC). I already filtered for an active (not discontinued) part, and panel mount. Selecting for ON-OFF actiion brings it down to ~650 choices and at that point it's easy enough to do a bit of scrolling and see what appears. But selecting for M6x0.75 mounting thread narrows it to 21 choices thus: https://www.digikey.com/products/en/switches/toggle-switches/201?k=&pkeyword=&sv=0&pv534=14&sf=1&FV=1140004%2C1f140000%2Cffe000c9%2C3ac0011&quantity=&ColumnSort=0&page=1&pageSize=25 And deselecting M6 and selecting 1/4-40 gives you 87 good candidates thus: https://www.digikey.com/products/en/switches/toggle-switches/201?k=&pkeyword=&sv=0&pv534=4&sf=1&FV=1140004%2C3ac0011%2C1f140000%2Cffe000c9&quantity=&ColumnSort=0&page=1&pageSize=25 Yrs, d |
