--Looking for a source for one of those big red mushroom kill switches, the kind that lock when smacked. A twist in one direction unlocks the switch. Does anyone have a proper name for these to search on, or better yet a source? --TIA,
"Emergency stop" or "push lock, turn reset". There are also ones that need a key to reset, and other ones that you just pull to reset.
Where I work they're called "Mushrooms", I don't know if this is an accepted term in other industries. Heck, where I work "hit the mushroom" is a verb :-).
Omron etc makes them and Digikey Mouser etc. sell them for $30-$50.
Tim.
Klockner-Moeller (or just plain Moeller these days) do one, look for Emergency Stop switches in the catalogues.
Most of the regular control switch people do them as well.

Small one:
The big ones: Look at Digikey numbers Z1502 through Z1511, different styles with and without key release.
About $25 to a little over $40 IIRC.

on,
I'm guessing that McMaster-Carr would have them.
