Hello everyone...

Modders out there, ever wondered where to get those Bulgin switches? Please refer to the link for a GOOD idea what I'm talking about

-> Illuminated Bulgin Switch

Well, I've just joined the bandwagon of wonderers. Does ANYONE know where in Malaysia can we get these switches?

Does anyone want to BULK these? I'm sure there would be quite a few modders who wants them

OFFTOPIC:

Look at these guys --> MNPC Tech

Sweet!!!

hahaha i also search for this switch long time ago.....
but cant find.....so i forget it huhuhuhu

so where can find ??? :unsure

bro, last time I wanted some too, but the price put me off...
Bulgin Switches, approx RM70 a piece. unless you're really lucky, maybe RM50 a piece.

That is if you buy a single Piece & get it shipped it over here from the U.S./U.K./Canada/etc. Anyone actually thought of bulking these items?

I'm quite sure if we could bulk it, it'll cost less than RM20 each (not the illuminated ones of course ). Check these out for the prices:

-> MNPC Tech
-> BULGIN Pushbutton Switch

The illuminated ones....

Anyway, you think anyone from U.S./U.K./Canada/etc. could source some out for us? Could make a few bucks in the process

i really like the switch coz it looks so professional

....AllnGap, bring in to Bulk Sales la hehehhee

'Gap! You think you can get some?
The LED holders are rare too... maybe you could source some if those too.
Possible?

Hey guys,

While in UK, I managed to purchase this switch from www.kustompcs.co.uk but other than them, I found it extremely hard to find a place to get it online. I tried places like www.maplin.co.uk, which holds lots of electronics items, to no avail. I had to wait a week or two for the availability of the switch before I could get it.

In terms of quality, it is indeed a very good product and worth your money, but with its scarcity even in the UK, I'm not sure how easy it is to find it here unless you guys organise a bulk buy from overseas.

Oh. I was talking about the illuminated ones. The last time I checked RM70 a piece, not including shipping.

Just FYI:

http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Other_...itches_etc.html

do they sell it at jln pasar?

maybe u can bring in to m'sia.....n sell here at bulk order....
u can get extra money lor.....
but u need to take order 1st n see how many ppl like this thing....

Dude, I'm sure there's gonna be a TONNE of people wanting these switches...
Even the military style toggle switches (missile switch) took SWEET

Anyone willing to conduct an overseas bulk?

hmm. these are momentary on switches.
seen any 3PDT / Push on Push off switches?

wahh PLZ yeah if anyone bulk this ..tell me yeah i wil definately get one

Would anyone here be interested in these?
Switch Covers

Since it's available in Taiwan, you think anyone from there could do an international bulk?

Anyone from Taiwan here???

I think I saw these in RS catalogue. Take a look at Farnell/ RS catalogues, no need to order from overseas.

my.farnell.com
www.rsmalaysia.com

waaaa malaysia also have this lor......
expensive if u buy small amount...
but cheap if u get large amount.....
but the switch use 24V lor...!!!

there is 3 distributor in malaysia , all damm expensive the cheapest i saw was
www.rsmalaysia.com

* 1+ * MYR85.70
* 15+ * MYR70.50
* 25+ * MYR62.80
* 50+ * MYR53.40
* 100+ * MYR49.00

this is for the blue colored one

search manufacturer part no MP1001 at their site

but if buy 200+ still RM49 ka.....!!!!
hope can reduce the price to RM20

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!

http://www.richcoelectronics.com.sg/

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.

that newark site someone posted happens to have some pretty ok prices, but they dont have blue illuminated ones. and i cant seem to find the latching ones.

i trying to bulk this swithces but need the number of SERIOUS buyers ...coz need to ask moq and pricing...pls gime a pm if u r Seriously interested....

Dude, can't you just ask for the price in order sizes of 10, 50 & 100 units?
I'm sure it's possible. At least then, we'll have a rough idea of what prices to expect.
I'm not sure many us would want to say "YES" now & later having to pay an exhobirant price for the switches, right?

Hope you could just find out 1st. Then the orders should start coming in smoothly

i hav to ask my agent ...gime threee days...

good luck hope it turns out affordable

update on bulk...my agent is trying to setup apointment with the company ...neway i think i should go into the meeting with roughly how many pcs i wan to order.....so apriciated if all those interested just post here or gime a pm.... no need to be serious...just want to know roughly how many people want...

I want one too but this is not the place to discuss bulk in details.

Please use the PM instead. I'll leave the thread open in case you guys wanna tok bout installation and what nots... but not orders and status updates for the bulk ok.

Cheers.

sorry bro...my bad....can u like move this to the bulk section or a the correct forum
??

Start another thread in bulk section please.

This one will be kept open for installation etc discussions.

guys i will start a thread when i have confirmed the bulk....

don't forget to attach a link to your new thread in the bulk section

I just started a bulk order from MNPCTech.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=21&t=304563&st=0

Need to get some honeycomb grills and stuff.
Gonna make it quick, 2 weeks to closing date only.

OK, let's get back to the topic pls. No more bulk discussions here. That belongs in Bulk Section or by PM.

i've seen some of the switches on sale at the KL convention centre. today's the last day. dun dare to ask the pricing as the buttons and switches are for coporate and plant uses. but most of the switches looks awesome

So Mr. lolhalol, any updates for us?

OK, back to SwithcMods, anyone actually thought about actually wiring these switches? As for as I know, the LED's within the illuminated versions of these swithces are standard 5v runners. I think it involves powering 2 extra feet at the base of the switches. Correct me if I'm wrong, OK?

And I think the accessory below makes a good addition to having these switches.
--> Switch Mounting Plate

What say you guys? Go original or retail (as above)?

@goldenhawk
im teribly sorie yeah... couldnt negotiate with the suplier...only way to get price in 50ish was 100 pcs.... neway we can all get from metalzones bulk now....
____________________________________________________________
the switches still need to hav power.. i think u can wire the switch's light into the mobos power led conection...that should work right??

Yeah u can power it this way.

Yes there's another two pins for powering the illumination LED. Total of 4 pins.
The LED stays on all the time provided it is powered. You better limit the power u're supplying to it via a resistor, 5v's from our rails may be a bit too much. Typical LED's require 3v. You won't wanna burn out that expensive switch. I hope the LED's replaceable?

I think i'm definately out on the illuminated ones. I'm gonna need 4 switches for my light bus, and even if we can get RM50 a piece, its gonna cost me a massive RM200. yikes.

This post has been edited by MetalZone: Jun 23 2006, 10:37 PM

haha dude the led is replaceble but u need to saww the end off n solder a new one in ... ill find the thread i saw dis guy do it.... ill find and post here k...

i might be interested to get the one MetalZone bulking, but i am worrying i dont know how to install it since my power switch is spoilt now.....

And one thing i worried is space clearance lolx

Installing the power switch souldn't be much of a problem. Just remove the wires from the current switch & fit or solder them to the new switch's leads. There are no polarity concerns with these switches.

As for clearence, it depends on what type of casing/switches you're using now. Under most circumstances, there would be some amount of modifications needed in order to accomodate these switches. Worst case scenario, you'll have to utilize one of your 3.5"/5.25" bays to hold the switch(es)

Here's another switch-type which you guys might find interesting:
--> Fighter Switch

There seems to be someone to contact on the page. Anyone in Taiwan now?

Anyway, anyone got any suggestions on where these type of switches would look nice on the case? OR has anyone done mods with these switches before? Come on guys!

taiwan ??
find our sniper!!

Got... but NOT with the funky LED and colorful cover.

It's more capalang looking. I might be heading down to the electronic shops tonight if I can make it so will take some pics.

Going to Dallas, US, next week for a month of business/training trip. Might be possible to source these kinda switches for you guys, but first i wanna know what kinda demand is there

Check & see if there are any mod stores there. Then let us know-lah
We'll make orders via yourself Can?

Sure, i will check it out there. Will have my laptop with me and free internet access in the hotel, so no problem for me to online there. Will let you guys know

checked di.... not cheap here as well. As the pic shows, NT350 per piece and these are on/off. Didn't see any momentary ones

Nice shop...
noticed any metal/stainless steel/chrome illuminated push buttons? (latching on/off type, not momentary)

Nada....I'm looking for a nice push button as well. Everything else there is just too plasticky.

Better get off the band wagon guys.

...and may I knw why?

BTW Mr. Sniper, how much do the switches cost roughly?

Stated above wat... price tag on the pic also.... NT350 which is roughly between RM35-38

Wha....!!
*...drops on floor...*

Thread seems kind of dead ...

Here's some SwitchMods I found online:

-->Modding 101: Switches
