Title: OOF members in Leeds?
Post by: Shackeng on 06 January 2015, 11:30:27
Hi guys, I'm trying to buy some door lock microswitches, Part # 1519007 from Farnell in Leeds, however they will not sell less than £20 worth, and as they are only £1.60 each and I only want 4 (3 for spares), the only way to get them is from their trade counter here : http://uk.farnell.com/help-trade-counter.

Can anyone assist please? Postage paid of course.

TIA :y

Have you tried CPC? No min charge and no postage costs for on-line orders. (still part of the Farnell group but easier to deal with)

The Farnell/CPC ones lack the lugs that exist on the RS one. Not a huge problem, but worth knowing.

Shackeng has confirmed the partnumber he bought last year had the lugs from RS.  I can confirm that the ones I bought from Farnell/CPC don't.

There are multiple versins of this DB2

Thanks very much for the offer Gav, however I'm going to get the Farnell ones from Moggy who can order them direct. An RS one I fitted last year has failed. :y

As usual OOF comes up trumps, thanks to all for your offers of help. :y :y :y

There are multiple versins of this DB2

And yet if you check the data sheet with the technical drawing of the Farnell on their website, it definitely shows the same lugs as in the Farnell pic in BIGtimes post. ??? ??? ???

I've now changed 2 of these and, until this thread, was 99% certain that they had the Farnell type lugs. :y :-\ :-\
I'll let you know when I get them. :y

As said, my Farnell ones had holes, not lugs.

Its possible to swap the case over, but I've never bothered.

Terminology problem, I think my RS one had holes in the lugs, and not pins. :y

White bits are the cases from the original GM switches. Black are the Farnell bits

Which look like pins and no holes, now check their website data sheet tech.drawing, which clearly shows holes in lugs!

We are talking about the two holes on the black one and the fact that the VX one has the 2 locating pins on each side of the switch case are we.

I'm talking about the metal connecting lugs or pins, 3 x off, which require soldering  in place. :y

Post by: Steve B on 07 January 2015, 19:31:19
Ive got plenty of the RS ones due to arrive here with the proper solder pins hopefully
Title: Re: OOF members in Leeds?
Post by: Kevin Wood on 07 January 2015, 22:11:43
I think we're confusing the 3 connecting pins on the bottom with the 2 mounting holes on the side, which are lugs rather than holes on the originals.

I've never found replacements with lugs, by the way. I find they are adequately secured by the solder joints, though.Well, none have failed yet. ;)

I suppose it you want to be fussy a bit of plastic rod superglued through the holes would give you the lugs back but as Kev says they seem to work fine without.

Its not the rods its the connections that fit on the PCB
