I bought a small wet grinder at auction that has a bad on/off switch. I'm looking to replace the switch.



It is a SPDT on/off/on 125v 16a rocker-style switch. I looked for it at McMaster-Carr but their selection isn't deep enough to include the switch I need.



Do you know someplace else I can try?


Gary



P.S. Grainger isn't an option for me any more. They won't sell to individuals any longer.



What about item 6797T13 ?

1 Off or On Off On or Off Stays Switched 3 SPDT ON-OFF-ON 15 6797T13 22.94 6797T23 12.94

The original switch has lugs rather than the screw terminals that this part number identifies. I would prefer to keep the lugs.

Tell Grainger you work for Boeing. No kidding.

Gary, I am sorry, what do you mean by lugs? Those things to connect quick disconnects?

You're right on the forever part - I bought my Weller "junior" soldering gun from Allied around 55 years ago and still use it quite often, have given several newer copies away after buying them at yard sales for a buck or two and tightening the tip nuts to get them working again.

I believe DigiKey has a $25 minimum. Not sure about Mouser.

There's also:

but they're surplus so you're not likely to find something so specific. Great prices though!

It does not, but it has a $5 surcharge on orders under $25.

Last i checked mouser had no mimum order BUT digikey has a canadian warehouse and canadian prices and that s a big bonus for me

even digi does not have a true "m> > It is a SPDT on/off/on 125v 16a rocker-style switch. I looked for it

Ebay has lots of them. The Electronic store where I go has over 200 different swithches.

To the OP, I got a switch like you want, ON-OFF-ON, solder lugs, reversing, 3/4 HP rated, 15A at 125V, with solder lugs. Stays on when turned on. It has a toggle (like a little lever or handle) for switching. Never used (solder lugs have no trace of solder).

$10 and it is yours. Plus shipping. It seems like a lot of money, to me also, but I figure that I may well need the same kind of switch one day and will have to pay big bbucks to get it, so it does not make sense to sell for cheap. Plus it does not take much space.

That's DigiKey; Mouser has neither a surcharge nor a minimum. They (Moiuser) ship with small boxes, so ordering a few small parts is cheap on shipping, too.

I try to get things from Mouser first.

Radio Shack actually has a 20 amp rated SPDT switch with QD lugs for about 2.00.

Any of dozens electronics parts places. ...lew...

When did that start? Uncle goes there a few times a year and he is retired.

Cherry model WRG34F2HBBNN is under $2 at DigiKey. It might be wise to add the current spec, though, because motor switches also have a rating for motor size (because turn-off arcing can cause extra wear).

Design your own business cards. They cost $8.50 delivered to your door for 250 of them. Full color if you use one of their templates.

They usually work pretty well if you hand one to the guy at the register if he puffs up.

This may help...

Political Correctness

A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
