bcbox Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 OK I've been chasing down MEC of Denmark. They make beautiful switches of all sorts, including what I was looking for...led-centralized push-button switches with clear diffuse round caps! After a few hours searching I found....- They are known as MEC/Solico in the US www.solico.com- They have many oem distributors/reps in the US. Check here MEC/Solico DistributorsThe local rep to me is actually in the same city as my work and they've got these suckers in stock. I'm going to setup an account at work tommorrow and inquireabout samples/pricing.if you're on the look out for switches check these guys out. Of coures if you're in the UK you can buy these from Farnell (they won't export to the US). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srmaietta Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hey BcBox, any luck with these guys? Id be in for some switches if there was a minimum quantity you had to order.thanks~Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbox Posted July 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I ended up buying them from Target Electronics. They're a big distributor in the US for a lot of companies. There was no minimum quantity but the piece price was higher. I paid $89 for 25 green led switches model #3FTL622 and 25 clear caps model #1S11-16not cheap but not too much more than the other quotes I got with big lead times and minimum quantities...

sidetrack Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 well! i just looked at the solico list that is above. And the rep that I have been calling is no longer listed! No wonder I'm not getting anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
