Looking for a momentary pull switch, 12v. Normally open, closed when pull, similar to a headlight switch but does not have to be very big at all but must be momentary on when pulled (ie: spring loaded, does not stay on like a headlight switch).

Trying to make a pull chain switch for truck's air horns. Any local shops around here that would carry something like that? Not getting anywhere with the yellow pages as the people answering the phones don't seem to always wear their drool bibs.



This is one from the Cole Hersee catalog, trying to find one local.

 

Tried Radio Shack? A couple of the older ones still carry bins of small electronics parts.

You can probably also hit up the larger NAPA stores and spend some time looking for what you want...I've gone into the one Research Rd looking for odd 12v stuff and been able to get what I wanted.

 

Try a truck stop. Alot of them carry small electronic parts and stuff for trucks.

 

i got one like that. it is pull to on and push to off. let me know.

E-mail sent. Yeah, I need one.

Radio Shack doesn't carry it. Couldn't find the electronic ones (only mechanical) at trucker supply places.

 

Try the NAPA on Research Rd...it's a regional warehouse so they have more parts available than the little stores. They used to let me look through the parts book to find what I was looking for.

 

Don't you mean Southlake Blvd?

 

Yeah, that's the one.

 

Napa Echlin PP5008 is the opposite of what I need, that one is a momentary on when pushed, need a momentary on when pulled. Napa doesn't have any switches that would work.

Any other suggestions?

 

www.digikey.com and crap i cant remember the other site i used when i was in college to get electronic parts
