Hi there
does anyone know of a uk supplier of Double Pole Triple Throw sub miniature toggle switches? I've been trawling Uk outlets for days now but they seem to be a rarity.. Mad

cheers! :

I've found the SP3T and DP3T switches listed on Farnell, but they were quite expensive. http://uk.farnell.com/spc-technology/spc21327/toggle-switch/dp/1310889

I found some SP3T at ESR Components, which I needed for an SN-Voice module, here: http://www.esr.co.uk/electronics/products/frame_switches.htm (Scroll to the bottom of the page).

I also picked up quite a few other components from ESR at the same time and delivery wasn't bad (less than a week from placing the order to the parts arriving).

If you actually need DP3T, you might be better ordering them from Digikey or Mouser in the US, as it will probably work out cheaper than getting them from Farnell.

Good hunting

Hi there
thanks for that info - i tried Farnell and found them a bit expensive too -will try the other sites you suggest. I need them to replace "juno stye" switches on a project to revamp an old JHS (UK badged Multivox) drum synth into a custom rack synth (with mods of course!).
Thanks for your help.....
