You might also check the mil-spec switch components of Eaton Corporation, it may still be Cutler-Hammer, and Honeywell. They used to make aircraft switches.

Use a relay. Use a momentary switch to energize the relay. Have one set of contacts in parallel with the momentary switch.Thanks for the suggestion that would work as I described I wanted it too, but I didn't explain that part very well. The actuator of the momentary switch needs to stay 'ON'. The visible part of the switch is very important. It is not enough for me just to provide a circuit, I need to keep the switch in position as well. We are simulating a certain switch in an aircraft ( the ATArm switch of the MCP in a 737NG). I have a design company coming into see me tomorrow, but I wanted to exhaust all other options first. :) Kind Regards, Stuart Whelan Technical Director Pacific Simulators Ltd DDI: +64 3 3778866 Mobile: +64 27 2828074 Recursion: See Recursion.
