These are the limit switches I’m using.
Search ebay for this: TEMCo Micro Limit Switch Long Roller Lever Arm SPDT Snap Action home
Link to current auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-pc-TEMCo-Mi ... LnzuClv7Gg
They have long and short roller arm versions available in various lot sizes. They seem decent and are dirt cheap. I also bought some Temco toggle switches (I think they're about 20 amp AC capable) that I wanted to use to be able to shut off AC power to various components but I'm not that happy with those. They are stiff and don't have a nice feel to them, also just packed in a padded bag so the on/off cover plates are all beat up and bent. Also quite cheap, but not that nice.
So you bought an Acorn....or are interested in one.

Phoenix is the brand, I buy them from DigiKey. They are a bit pricey $10-18 a pair, depending on # of pins. I can get a part number from the BOM if you need it.

Hi Gary,
If you could tell us what they are called, I could search for it. What kind of termination is on the inside?

Re: So you bought an Acorn....or are interested in one.
Thanks, but the problem with looking for stuff on Mouser, Digikey, etc. is you can’t really tell how it works or how you attach the wires on the inside.

Re: So you bought an Acorn....or are interested in one.
Gary, I think creating a new post with your connectors and both plug and mating connector would be a good resource for the group.Gary Campbell wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2017 4:39 pmScot...

Re: So you bought an Acorn....or are interested in one.
Sounds like you will do like a lot of us when get get started. Buy a bunch of stuff until you find something you like and then create a junk drawer with ALL the stuff you couldn't use.

Actually in this case the solder terminals in the back are well shown.

Re: So you bought an Acorn....or are interested in one.
Thanks, Gary, that’s excellent! I looked quickly at the link frijoli posted and it didn’t show a pic like that. Yeah, Marty, I’ve spent countless dollars on junk I can’t use. Trying to avoid that, if possible.
