Switch supporting Snap Action Breakers
 

Hello there, earlier in the season I recall watching a lunch with Andy where he showcased I believe the spinbox. Anyway, I was wondering about the switch used in the video to provide power to the motor. It appears it supported Snap Action MX5 breakers. I think a few of these would be really useful to my team. I searched andymark and it appears you don't currently distribute them so I was wondering if anyone could link me to them.

Here is the video I am referring to if that helps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjP5YKP9-x8

The switch itself isn't too important and just has to be beefy enough for whatever it is that you want to do. You can pick pretty much any kind you want. It looks like Andy is using some kind of momentary rocker switch. You need an inline fuse holder (scroll down to the "Inline Blade-Style Fuse Holders"). The 40 amp Snap Action fuses are MAXI size. The 30 and 20 amp Snap Action fuses are standard size.

Bart,
That is just a scratch built switch mounted in a Bud Box with an inline fuse holder. The fuse holder is available at most auto parts stores. The switch and box are available from Digikey, Allied or Mouser. Since Andy stated the breaker is a 30 amp breaker, you likely want a switch that can handle significant currents.
