Looking for an illuminated power switch for a phono preamp. I'd like to use the switch to switch the 120V live wire leading to the power transformer
Looking for a switch similar to this one
http://ca.mouser.com/ProductDetail/E-Switch/PV3H2B0NN/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMufv8JNQ5fVHYtKSHsZaECCUBNdJpnMPh8%3d
Datasheet isn't very clear. The 48V DC and 2A is for the switch I believe, not enough to switch 120V AC. Not sure what the internal LED is rated at....
Anyone have a part number for a suitable switch? Ideally cheaper too.
Thanks!

Look at the "Illuminated Rocker Switches" section rather than push-button - you'll find way cheaper switches and a lot more rated for 120+ VAC.

I saw a Bulgin made one rated at 125Vac but it was more then double the price of the one you linked. I think that switch type is refered to as "Vandal Proof". Schurter has something similar but even more then the Bulgin.

Yup, look for the illuminated rocker switches. I actually just got a shipment in from Mouser, the green illuminated ones. Pretty cool switches!

Thanks for the help guys
Looks like I'll pass on this idea, too expensive
