Hi all,

I've been asked to re-design a product. One of the current
front panel components is a large (much larger than necessary)
switch, like this one

html#.VWWFH1J6X1I

The customer has asked that I find a smaller PCB-mount
version. For various reasons it's a good idea

I've looked around Mouser and Digikey, and found some
switch manufacturers. TE, Grayhill and Carling for example

Each of them offers combinations of switch configurations,
such as being able to specify xPyT, actuator, bushing, contact
rating etc. Unfortunately this doesn't mean you can get what
you want.

In this pdf there's almost the exact thing, A105MD9AB04, only it's
single-pole. The A205MD9AB04 (DPDT) would be exact

http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/418/ENG_DS_2-1773458-5_GEMINI_SERIES_SWITCHES_QR=
G_0411-205022.pdf

TE have got back to me and said that the A205 is not made

Grayhill and Carling have yet to reply about their possibilities,
it's been a few days. On the strength of TE's reply, I'm quite
expecting to strike out again

So, if you want an idea of what it looks like, it would be the
DPDT version of the leftmost switch at the top of Page 1

http://www.grayhill.com/assets/1/7/Toggle_34A.pdf

That is, a PCB-mount right-angle DPDT (On)-Off-(On), plain
bush, > 2A @ 12VDC. It'll be the DPDT in the M7 panel

(On)-Off-(On) is momentary in both up and down positions,
with centre off

Does anyone know of such a switch ? It's going to be a real
pain if I can't find any, as all the other switches needed are
available in a similar style. And simulating the (On)-Off-(On)
function is going to mean a total re-design of h/w and s/w

TIA
