Looking for a good momentary switch
 

I am having a hard time finding a decent momentary switch at stores and on-line.

I need a switch that is momentary, can handle 10-15 aps and installs with a drilled hole preferably.

This is the best so far:

And does anyone know if this can handle 10 amps?

Any other ideas or links would be nice.

Thanks!

I am looking for some also. I went radio shack and didn't have what i was looking for and the guy there told me to try Fistell's. They are here in Denver and online. I haven't had the chance yet to look them up but it is worth a try.
What are you going to use it for?

just tried the website and it is not working.

try jameco and digi-key. Jameco is easier to search.

The one you cited is a Holley / NOS momentary switch, for which not even Holley's own webpage gives specs:

Pushbutton Switch
Part #: 15610NOS

However, Holley / NOS offer a 30 Amp relay:

30 Amp Relay Assembly
Part #: 15618NOS
http://www.holley.com/products.asp?product=15618NOS

... you could (maybe should?) probably use to ensure robust operation...

If the larger push-button switch of the sort you cited (Streamline Hot Rod Parts) is acceptable:

The most common unit on the market is the Cole Hersee M626BP momentary starter button, rated at 35 amps.

Hint: If such heavy-duty starter-type switches are what you're after - look in the marine marketplace. They're much more commonly used on boats, and suppliers offer water- / weatherproof variants.

Go to Boater's World or West Marine. Boats do not use relays - their switches are rated at least at 20A.

They will be used for an emergency vehicle sire. They only need to carry 10 amps for very short periods of time (less than 5 seconds) I don't want to have any more relays. I have to many already.

Does anyone know how hard those starter switches need to be pressed? I want something that is easy to tap with one finger and can be mounted of somewhat thin plastic.

Thanks!
