Toggle Switches

Seanieke

Is there anywhere in south dublin that sells toggle switches that you can walk in & have a look at? I know I could get them from Farnell or Radionics but they've 1400 odd each & you need a part number before you can get it, & cant view before hand.

Last time I compared Halfords prices the motor factors were absolutely robbing people on these.

Toggle switches from Radionics aren't that expensive and yes, you do need to know know what you are looking as the people behind the counter are not mind readers. You pick what you want from the catalog and quote the stock number.

Work out first what you are looking for "On Off", "On Off On", latched or monetary, type of finish etc etc, then browse through the catalog or website.

A friend of mine purchased some from Radionics for a kit car and they finished off the dashboard nicely.
