I'm trying to find info/part number of the switch caps of the Xotic BB+ (the three black mini switches in the center).



Xotic has directed me here:
https://users-new.xotic.us/shop/product/x106b0005-switch-cap-4-pc-set-3517?category=23

I was wondering if these (or any compatible sub) can be found at Mouser or some other provider to include them in some other order, since I live in Europe and postage from California is like 3x what the caps are worth...

Thanks

The push switches I have come across have a 3.1mm x 3.2mm shaft.

I have used these caps in the past with the Alps push switches

Thanks a lot for your reply and link Pete! In fact I think I have identified the switch.



I think it should be the Alpha SP80050F-0202-5.5F locking version.

But I can only find a horizontal version of it in Mouser :mad:

Thanks again for your time and help ;)

Lots of potential options,  could you measure the dimensions?

For the white part thre cap attaches to,  2.8mm and 3.3mm are common.  Which one is it?

What is the diameter of the cap you need?

HAve a look at Bazai music. Maybe their E-switch cap fits.
Maybe, but they don't give any measurements and they're not cheap...but thanks for the idea  :)

These are all the switch dimensions:

Well both actually  ;D The white part, seen from the cap's perspective is a 2x3mm rectangle.

The cap should 6 mm diameter x 12,3 Height.
I have now also realized I will need a switch too because one of them is not working. It's kinda "locked" in one position :(

That's a size I'm not familiar with so don't have an answer off hand.  Maybe look at C&K switches and see if they have an equivalent.  What is nice about their switch datasheets is they usually include compatible caps as well.
