Title: Part number for PCB mounted SPST momentary stomp switch for relay bypass
Post by: Tuff Pedals on December 05, 2016, 07:57:24 AM
Hi there  :)

I'm looking to build a relay bypass PCB with onboard jacks and PCB mounted normally open SPST stomp switch. Looking online , the ones I have seen all seem to have right angled mounted solder lugs which is not what I'd prefer.

Anyone got any recommendations for a part?, based in the UK but will order from anywhere!.

Many thanks

I can't say I've ever seen an SPST in PCB mount - but I could easily have missed it. The closest thing to it would be SPST with down-facing solder lugs. Maybe there's a reason for that - a foot-operated switch mounted to a pcb with only two pins might not hold up that well over the long term - just a thought. You can find SPDT and plenty of DPDT momentary pcb mounts which will of course function as SPST. Quite few to choose from at Banzai in Germany: https://www.banzaimusic.com/Pushbutton-Footswitches-Momentary/.

Thanks Gord,
I'll check them out , like you say , maybe the extra pins will come in handy to make the mounting sturdier!

Cheers daz
