Latching toggle switches

Hi all, does anybody know where I can buy the latching toggle switches for use as Airbus fuel switches? I can't find any in Oz.

Cheers, Gwyn

PS Someone sent me an email titled "737 TQ" and I accidently deleted it....doh! Sorry mate!

Gidday Gwyn,
have you tried COCKPITSONIC? They have a lot of Airbus components!

Hey Gwyn,

I am trying to understand what your after. I can get switches (without the caps) like GSEY showed you for 4 bucks each from the local Radio Shack/Source. It is a standard Toggle Switch "ON OFF" What do you mean by making it latching though? I can't believe you can't get these in OZ?

Can ya help me understand a bit. I would be more then happy to post you a couple. Wouldn't take me long to get em to ya.

A latching or locking toggle means you have to pull the switch up before you can move it. It is a safety feature and is different from a standard toggle switch.

Ahhhhh.. That makes sense... Perfect, thanks Buddy.

NKK Switches (www.nkkswitches.com) makes locking toggles. For example see the last page in this short form catalog http://www.nkkswitches.com/pdf/stogglesmedcap.pdf

These are commercial duty rather than aviation types so are "moderately" affordable. In the US, Digikey sells them for US$11~15 a piece depending on the model.


NKK lists Arrow Electronics and Future Electronics as distributors in Australia.

Thanks guys for the help, it was under my nose all the time as I have an RS Components catalogue and found them on page 1410.
