Hi, this is probably a bit low tech for this site, but you might be able to help.
I have been asked to replace a broken switch on a desk lamp. The lamp is double insulated with no earth provided in the moulded plug or cable. The lamp is all metal construction.
So this switch originally fitted is a plastic toggle switch with shrouded screw terminals. I would like to replace with a similar one, you can find them in China, I tried requesting a price on Alibaba but didn't get a useful reply. The switch for info is a Greenways M226.
The question is can anyone think of European suppliers of this sort of thing.
Alternatively, Could I use a standard miniature toggle switch rated for this purpose, my doubt with this is maintaining the insulation requirements for Class 2 equipment.
The last option and simplest is to to use one of the old fashioned plastic push switches commonly fitted to desk lights etc. Not so in keeping though.
Any info on suppliers or about the use of alternative small toggle switches ,most welcome.
Many thanks, AW
