Where to get this switch ideally in the U.K

[Rob Flinn]

Does anybody know of a U.K (preferably) supplier of the switch inged in the attached photo ? I used to get them from Rapid but it seems they only do the 2 pole version now.

Thanks for that. I think the switches I am after are the mini ones as used in Soundcraft & DDA
. I think these ones RS do are the schadow switch size which is too big.

Do they do push switches ? They don't seem to appear on their menu.

Yeah, you can find them in the shop, you'll have to scroll down a little bit.

Alternatively, AML (Audio Maintenance) have similar switches which might be suitable.

Hi Rob,

I had bough some from Rapid a couple of years ago. So, I may have one or two. I'll check.

I would be grateful if you could Cemal.

There's a couple of different sizes, the SPUN switches are the larger type, the SPUJ type are the miniature ones.

Ah, Ok. Thanks for that info. Should be perfect.

If the SPUJ switches are the right size, it looks as if Blore Edwards only list the 3 pole type.
If you need the 2 pole or 4 pole type instead, Mouser list those :

AML has the 4 pole SPUJ switches, the price is better than Mouser but they have a £25 minimum order.

http://www.audiomaintenance.com/acatalog/AL-03-006_extended_info.html
RS also has them in stock for a better price than Mouser, and also without the £25 minimum order required for AML.

It says "DPDT" in the description at the top of the page, but the detailed description clarifies that "Stock number 758-2118 is a 4 pole Latching Straight switch".

I spoke with Brett they have other configurations of the same switch available, just not on the website.

Bad news and good news.

Bad news is I only have two poles left. The original was branded RVFM but Toneluck and others offer exactly the same switch. However, the one in your equipment is different brand but they all have the same standard footprint anyway.

The good news is, as others suggested, Alps SPUJ 193700 will also do your job. I have photographed it to compare.




RS has them in stock. Order no 758-2118

If you need only one I'll post it to your usual address. Check your e-mail.
