Argh. I hate this part.
Anyone designed any little gizmos-in-boxes lately?
I'm looking for a couple of switches, and I'd sure like to short-cut the "spelunk through the catalog" process.
Everything here is low power -- 10V and 100mA is more than enough capacity.
Switch #1 is a nice power switch for a handheld unit that's easy to actuate on purpose, but won't turn on accidentally when the thing is chucked into a bag of stuff and rattled around in someone's trunk. The switch I had originally selected for this purpose did fine on task #1, but you could turn the finished product upside down on a flat table, press on the back, and turn the thing on.
Switch #2 needs to be a momentary (for "push to test").
Enough ruggidity to survive being used in mild rain showers and possibly being dropped in the mud would go over well, too.
The last time I did something that actually had a front panel, we used membrane switches built into the panel and it worked _great_, but that was years ago, this production run is going to be teeny, and anyway this customer isn't at all thrilled with the notion of membrane switches.
