Sourcing "tact" navigation switch or small "joystick" with switch o/p's

Jun 08, 2005 1 Replies

Hi all, I've spent the the best part of a few days trying to locate a smallish 4way+Select or 2way+Select switch.



I've found a range of tact switches (4 way + select) but they are all too small (10mmx10mmx5mm) to be useful in my application. Alps have some switches that look ok but with an MOQ of 1000 units..........



The switch will be mounted on a pcb about 15mm behind an aluminium facsia panel and used to navigate a menu on a 16x2 lcd. I'm looking at a cost of about US$2 - US$4 per piece.



Any ideas on who may be able to supply such a beast. 2way - left/right + select would also be ok.



TIA. rob


ITT/Cannon TPA513 (or 411 or 413 or 511, whatever). Digikey has them. Use TPABTN for the button that goes on top. JDG
