Jettison Stores Switch? Anybody

[Gladman]

Just a shot in the dark. Does anybody have a line on a company selling the 5 position rotary jettison stores switch with push button (Hornet specific)? I can find rotary switches everywhere and have a working one but to get one with a button seems to be quite the task.

Gladman,

 

I gave up looking for the perfect one a while ago... this is the one I got and it works great, you will need 2 resistors and its a little pricey..

Ouch!!! Ah I'll probably do it anyway. Who am I kidding.

 

thanks very much for the link

Uh, hang on, I think I saw a cheap alternative somewhere on this board...

 

 

This guy made such a switch from a regular rotary, a plastic bottle cap, and a regular momentary button. The momentary push button was hot glued into the bottle cap with a red plastic button surface. Then that assembly seemed to be glued or mounted onto the rotary button. Ingenious and dirt cheap!

 

I'll try to find it for you if I can...

 

Edit: I'm referring to a stores jettison like those found on Hornets and such

Maybe try to find a source for "12mm switch rotary encoder with key switch L3I5"

 

These seem to be quite inexpensive, like around $6 for 12 such encoders. Unfortunately it was an ebay Australian and they don't ship to Alberta!

Gladman you may not be able to find an exact 5 position one, but push button rotary encoders can be found easily and pretty cheap,

Here's one for $2 didnt look too deep into how many positions it has or how much rotation each step would be

I can upload the STLs for my solution if you want to take a shot at getting it 3d printed?
