Fisheye switches

[RuudNL]

I am looking for some 'fisheye' switches, as shown below.

They used to be not very expensive in the past, but it seems they are  hard to find nowadays.
The only European seller I found is Conrad, but they are asking 15 Euro(!) for a single switch...
Any ideas if there are other sellers in Europe?

Those style of switches were originally made by Schadow in Germany, which then morphed into ITT/Schadow.  Most recently, C&K bought the entire product line.

What you shows appears to be the "F" series, but those "winkie eye" actuators are tricky to find.  You might download a data sheet for that series of pushbuttons and piece together a part number for the exact combination of features you require.

Have a look on www.reichelt.de and search for 'Schlafaugen-Taster' (sleepy-eye switches).

They are about 6-8€ each.

Do you need the center-hole mounting ?
Normally these were seperate knobs which fitted on a schadow-switch.

The knobs were also available in rectangular form too, as can be seen here:

BTW, Reichelt sells the switches for half of the money:
