Real smart looking mod and very cheap dude.What's the tactile sw rating?
Looks like the MV tact switches I have.They have two force ratings of 100g and 300g (grams of force to actuate)They are 50 milli amps.People have used them with 2-3 amps and said they work okay.I would parallel the double set of contacts which would double the amperage rating to 100 milli amps. (still way under rated)
Heck, I don't know .. went to MV and it's not listed anymore, guess they quit carrying it I liked it because I needed a tiny switch and this was the only one that fit. It's probably pretty low current. It's a flat switch with a nylon plunger laying flat between the batty connector and the PCB. It will probably fail eventually, that's ok, have a second one to work with if it does.The problem is the tiny space you have for a switch. Tried to fit a MOSFET touch switch but there's just not enough room. Perhaps a bottom plunger switchless setup would work but I like that it can sit upright on my endtable So far it works fine
I've got a string of these 4mm micro switches with PCB pins.I'd have offered them to you earlier, but I figured you wouldn't use them.They're rated at a mere 50mA, but I go through (1) about every 6 months.Aaaaaand a rebuttal, that I should have clarified what I meant....the extension will give you enough spare room for a regulator.....like an e-Go type switch/reg.But thanks for making me look stupid....again.
LOL!!!! I completely mis-understood what you were talking about with the extension, sorry You have a bunch of these switches? MV doesn't list them anymore (at least I can't find them) .. where did u get them? I like them, they're so small they will fit anywhere.
Times .. saw your ebay link .. that was a different type of switch
Times .. yer a genius!
Yeeeeah....you can suck-up better than that, cantchya?LOL
