Thanks for your rich reply,
Actually, I'm afraid I am in the obligation of finding the same component for reverse engineering purpose. Otherwise i'll have to make a modification notice (approved by client) that will delay my project (even though the component you proposed would practically behave the same).
Another problem is the dimensions of the component: it should be exactly 20mm for design reasons, or else i'll have to make another modification notice that needs approvement from the client's client.
Thanks alot for your concern sir, looking forward for more propositions.
