Where To Buy Emergency Stop Buttons?

I am very sorry but I did not make my intentions clear. I am looking for low price shutoff switches for a personal project that I am working on where nobody's safety is actually in danger. These "emergency" stop buttons, and I use the term loosely, could shut off a set of model trains when a person is not near enough to the throttles after a derailment. A very easy shutoff system to add and would be very useful if I could get the some large red buttons that would be easy to hit immediately.

Thanks!

Newark Electronics carries a variety of these. I've used a 16mm one by Idec that was considerably cheaper than the big industrial grade versions.

Try asking a local arcade game repair shop if they have any big control panel buttons for sale. Check in your Yellow Pages under Amusements. In the old days these switches (such as the big buttons on _Asteroids_) used big leaf switches, but these days they use Cherry microswitches that don't last quite as long.

If you need Emergency Stop Buttons you need to pay real money for them . Just go to Cutler Hammer or some other professional supplier and stop trying to skimp the job. Remember these buttons may save or lose someone's life and the finger will point at the cheapskate who bought them on EBay.

Try Grainger.

Or

I second the suggestion for AutomationDirect.com

Thanks a lot guys. I purchased some red pushbuttons from AutomationDirect (22mm somethings) for a good enough price and now have exactly what I needed. Thanks again!
