Switch identification

[Martin Thompson]

Hi,

Can anyone ID this switch for me, please?

It's out of a Yamaha WX-11 wind controller, if it helps...

Can't find any markings on it, so the photos are all I have!

Cheers,
Martin

however parts might still be available for it.

If you have some dimensions, I may have a replacement. I have several
different sized switches, but they won't have that rubber cap on the top. You
may can transfer it, or make something up for that. More than likely it's an
Omron switch or a knock-off.

There are some similar switches listed in the Digi-Key catalog, and
various others. They are not exactly mechanicaly the same.

You would be best off to get the origional parts from Yamaha. This
company is excellent for origional parts support.

I should also mention that it has no tactile "click" to it at all..

Thanks,

Jerry and Tim,

You both suggest contacting Yamaha directly - would either
of you have any idea where to start? My emails to their support
addresses have been ignored so far :-(

Thanks!

Just back off hols, hence the silence on my part!

Anyway, in the UK, spares can be found from 0870 444 5575. Very
helpful they are too: faxed me a picture of the exploded view and then
we identified the right part.

In case it helps anyone in future, the part number is VE135700. They
cost a mere 67p +VAT each!

Thanks to all for the pointers.

Cheers,
Martin
