Hi All.

I am trying to put together a hobby project, and am looking for some 
smart-looking buttons on the project box. I am currently planning on 
using a particular SPDT tactile switch (like the half-and full press of 
a shutter button on a camera), and other switches with the same 
dimentsions. I need to get an actuator for these buttons to protrude 
through the outside of the project box.

I have spent a long time browsing through digikey online, and the 
catalogue, but I can't seem to find what I want.

Attached is a picture of what I think I want (based on disassembling 
other commercial products). The part I want is the red button. The black 
on the sides is the project box, and at the bottom is the 
tactile-switch. The particular switch I am looking at using is: 
http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/components/pdf/atk0000ce13.pdf in 
combination with other STSP switches with similar physical dimensions 
(height-wise), etc., like  
http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/components/pdf/ATK0000CE3.pdf

So, what would I call the part that is red in the diagram, and where 
would I find some?

Thanks

Rolf
