Hey guys, I need some help with finding some switches. The ideal switch I'm looking for will be a rocker switch with left being on , right being on and center being off. But here's the kicker. I don't went them to "click" into place. Similar to how a drill switch works, I want it to spring to the off position when I'm not holding it down. Any thoughts? Thanks Paul |

Paul, I think they use those types of switches in automobiles for electric window controls. You know, the old style where kids were getting their heads caught in the windows. Maybe raid the local junk yard. |

What you are looking for are called momentary on-off-on rocker switches. If you have a good local electronics store they will have them. Otherwise eBay (I found about 5-10 different sellers with these) or an online electronics place like Mouser or Digikey would do. If you are in the US, McMaster-Carr will probably have these among their million items as well. John |

Electronics Goldmine has a pretty broad selection of switches here: Electronics Goldmine I think what you're looking for is probably hard to find without actually feeling one though right? There's a local electronics supply store here that I can spend hours in just playing with parts, doing just that! haha |
