449 forum posts 72 photos | I am currently having problems in sourcing a couple of Mom (On) Off (On) rocker switches required for the Arduino stepper motor project. Only available items appear to be located in the US. Is anyone aware of a possible UK source? |

449 forum posts 72 photos | Have just checked out CPC for the SPDT switch Type 1818.1302 manufactured by Marquardt but they are only taking back orders. There seems to be a world wide shortage for this and many other items due to Covid issues. |

449 forum posts 72 photos | Oven Man/Duncan - I think the physical size and current handling capacity of the units suggested are a bit OTT for the given application. I checked the Dims and was surprised to see just how big and 'meaty' in both senses they actually are. In their place I have opted for the miniature version having the same Mom On-Off-On action, smaller current rating and fitting ia 6mm panel hole. Costs in each case are very reasonable. Many thanks for all the help provided |
