I have been trying to find those ultra small switches that Maxon, Keeley, Fullt@ne and others are using on their pedals....

thanks JON

Yeah, those things are pinner.  I think they are the same size as normal switches but they have the really tiny bats.  I'd like to have some of those too.
This is not my large automobile

the type of switch i am refering to are the kinds that look like the shaft surrounds the actual switch itself and only 1/4 " of the switch is exposed.... take a look at the Keeley time machine pedal for example....

thanks JON

Ah, I get it... Hmm, I've got a couple of those; not sure where I got them from though. Sorry.

If you're looking for the tiny toggle switches with the really small switch bodies, you can find those in Figure O on Page 1443 of the Mouser catalog: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/632/1443.pdf.

If you're looking for the slightly larger toggle switches (in the switch body) with the stubby 0.21" paddles, you can find those in Figure K on Page 1442 of the Mouser catalog:  http://www.mouser.com/catalog/632/1442.pdf.

Radio Shack carries the Pg. 1443 Fig O switches as well, as I used a couple of those in a recent build.  I don't believe they carry the short-paddle switches.

Good luck!
