breadboard switch needed

03/31/2008 7:52 PM

I need 100 single spst momentary on switches with pins that fit a bread board. That is 0.1 inch lead spacing or some whole number multiple of 0.1 inch spacing. I have already gone thru CR4 and the internet looking.

Any leads?

For now I am using switches with wire leads that have a 22g solid wire soldered on and stuck into the board.
I really don't want to solder up and heat shrink 100 more switches.

It's almost 5pm local as I post this so it will be 15 hours before I can reply.

We use these for all our instrument front panel push switches. They meet your .1" spacing requirement and are cheap and available at Digikey.

Hopefully, the link will work, if not search for KSA1M411LFT

Thank You,

those will work. I went thru my digikey catalog and just missed those. I guess I was hooked on non-metric numbers.
