any idea what toggle miniature switch i should use?

[arielfx]

i just got a yellow inductor from dunlop and i thought to install it on my wah but in a way i could use a mini toggle switch to select between the old one and this one.

can anyone recomend a mouser part or something like that? i am lost in that catalog...

Do you want this switch to be external or internal?

Anyone see anything wrong  with
 use a dpdt switch, wire where the inductor used to connect to the two poles [center poles like what jacks would conect to in Tbypass] wire one side of the switch so the one inductor is used with switch on one side the other inductor on the other side [treating the inductors as you would a ckt bypass, but instead of a wire on the bypass side you'd have the other inductor...
  Cna't draw 'print'  maps
  where the jacks would go on TB...connect to Board, put one inductor on either side of the switche...
 I hope you can follow cuz it's tuff for me to word

external switch if anything... maybe swicthes by alco if these are good?

OK.... With so many choices it is easy to get lost in the choices.

I would suggest something with a short shaft to reduce the chances of damage. I'm just picking from the catalog, but how about...

506-TT13D2T (SPDT) or 506-TT23N2T (DPDT)

from page 824 http://www.mouser.com/catalog/616/824.pdf

Either should work fine. You can leave one side of both coils connected and just switch the other, or you can take the more "pure" approach and switch both leads.

Take care,

thank you very much!
i think i'll go with the "nazi" approach i guess

[Peter Snowberg]

:? eeeek. I hope I didn't say something that translated badly. I don't like nazis.

Shalom,

:lol:  come on dude we all hate them... i'm saying the "nazi" way because you could say that the purists are kind of tone nazis because they do everything in a strict manner.
