German on/off switch makers?

I want to add a push button on/off switch to my dash. Always on, but when you hold the button it it kills the circuit. Any body have recommendations? I could get one down at ACE Hardware, but wondering if there are some nice German switches around.

most of the kill switch buttons youll find will be for motor cycles and horn buttons are the same setup. maby you can mount a hadlebar mount one in your dash flush mount. look up kill switch on ebay maby youll get some ideas

thanks you are right .. mostly motorcycle stuff. I want to make a brake light kill switch for when I pass the cops. I'm probably better off with anti-radar jaming device

Try Allied or Mouser (electronics suppliers). Not likely to be German, but you can probably find something that blends aesthetically.

I have this pushbutton momentary in my dash, I use it to turn on a high power LED blinker to gently inform drivers they have lingered in the left lane too long. :-)



There was already a hole in the metal there, I just had to poke thru the vinyl.

Yup, careful... And radar jammers are snake oil. The power and antenna required would be huge. Laser jammers, however, do actually work.
