PCB mount DPDT - On-Off Toggle Switch - Unable to find one

[carlsoncoder]

Hi all -

I'm ordering parts for my next build - the Coda Effects Black Hole. I'm having a hard time finding a particular part. This build calls for a "DPDT Switch On-off", PCB mounted. I tried all the big ones (Digikey, Tayda, Mouser, etc.) and the only "on-off" one I could find was on Mouser, and they were something like $10+ per switch!

I found a bunch that were On-Off-On, which I guess would work, but I'd prefer just the two way toggle - On or Off.

Are these hard to find for some reason or am I just not searching in the right place? Anyone know where I could order one?

Thanks!

You need just a regular on-on, should be common at all the parts sites. Documentation is a mistake. There’s a diagram of how the switch bypasses the boost circuit at the bottom left corner of the schematic in the documentation, and it definitely has to be an on-on Switch to work.

sounds like a cool project, good luck!

Awesome, thanks a bunch! The "On-On" ones are definitely much easier to find. Really appreciate the quick reply!

Yep. Maybe worth dropping a note to coda-effects if you can reach him that the docs are wrong.

Let us know how you like it once it’s built.
