--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.

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.

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.

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