Title: Nautilus DPDT PCB Mount Switches
Post by: zapme on July 12, 2013, 06:07:32 PM
I'm trying to find DPDT On/On PCB Mount Toggle Switches with the right spacing to mount to the board.  I ordered the wrong ones from mammoth.  :(  Anyone know where to find these? Thanks

If you are in the US I would just hit up the local radio shack. It will. Cost you less fan paying for shipping and be quicker. I used them in mine and they worked fine...

Thanks for the tips guys.  I checked radio shack today but had no luck. Looks like online purchase is in order.

The Nautilus board (and I believe all Madbean boards with board-mounted switches) is designed to accept the solder lug switches, so back to Tayda and buy some of these: http://www.taydaelectronics.com/electromechanical/switches-key-pad/toggle-switch/mini-toggle-switch-3pdt-on-on.html (http://www.taydaelectronics.com/electromechanical/switches-key-pad/toggle-switch/mini-toggle-switch-3pdt-on-on.html) While you're there, you can stock up on jacks, pots, switches and all the passives you need! I think it was just a case of us mis-understanding what you meant.......

This! I should have mentioned that the ones I used from radio shack were solder lug not PCB mount

I went back to radioshack and pickup the switches.  Thanks for the clarification that the solder lug switches would work.
