49 bucks damn cheap adi wei. but who the heck's gonna buy 200 lol.
20 bucks impossible.

Aha still expensive ehh, likewise all other stuff. This kind of nice shiny switch is vandal resistant type, the ones you would find in lifts. One problem is they're probably all momentary-on, turns back off once you lift your finger.

But if its ok for your application (power and reset switch, also momentary-on), here's some cheaper ones from RS:
314-9300 - non-illuminated - RM47
278-1149 - RM37

What about key switches , start your rigs like a car...
319-786 - RM27.90

BTW, other than RS or Farnell, whats the other distributor?

Actually, the non-illuminated versions are just as nice
Anyone interested to bulk?

yeah. exactly what i meant earlier. i wanted latching ones (push on, push off).

Dood...if you're doing a bulk or something...let me know ya...I want one too. PM me. Cheers

Dude, no illuminated ones unfortunately

How about this?
-> ER - SWITCH, 22MM, LOW BUTTON PROFILE, FRONT PANEL/SINGLE HOLE

Or this?
-> ER - Switch, Vandel Resistant, 22mm, Low Profile, SP, Push to make, 1A 250V

I think I may be able to get those switches.
There's a Bulgin connector distributor in Singapore, and last time I was asking for those waterproof connector for an Underwater Robot.

Please tell me a minimum quote.
I'll email them straightaway!

Hope I can help.
Do wait for my post if anything good happens!

That's their website.

I don't see why you all dislike the fact that it's a momentary switch, as it works perfectly fine just like any other switch, and I've tested it on both a DFI Lanparty NF3 and Asus A8N-SLi motherboard.

Err.. not much of a website they have there... huh?
Anyway, if possible, maybe you can inquire for a quotation for orders in 10, 50 & 100 pieces. This way, we might be able to have a rough idea of what prices we are looking at per/quantity

Dude, maybe he doesn't intend to use them as PC power switches? If you're going to control a CCFL or some other electronics that require a latching power switch, then he's on the right track I supposed.

That is if i'm doing it lah heheh. Now we need a right source first.

Simple reason: Because I dont intend to use it as a power or reset switch. Otherwise the other option is to make a relay circuit to control the On/off sequence fed by the momentary switch.

Dude, any updates?
Found any reliable sources?

Anyone else interested in bulking?

Quite expensive fo a switch ...

Same concept as expensive casings dood.... bling premium

Very nice switch there! But quite expensive. If its around below 50 Im interested. If got somenone do a bulk here pls pm ok

THey asked for a minimum quote.
Since pricing varies with quote quantity.
So asked them in turns of 20,50 or 100.
Do wait for the news!

Actually, I've gone around emailing a few companies as well... no reply so far
Hope you have better luck

nice the topic is still on, cool

lets hope that the item can be bulked

Good. hope to hear some good news. I'm looking to get some latching switches.
