small 2 button enclosure

Derek Prost · Guest

I have developed a device using a PIC mounted on a small PC
board measuring approx. 2" x 2.5". It requires 2 switches to operate.
Can someone direct me to a vendor that sells small enclosures with
switches mounted on the enclosure? Thank you.

it is normal to select the enclosure, then design the PCB around it.

However, try www.farnell.com

Look at Digi-Key or Mouser as they distribute a variety of enclosures. I saw one in Mouser that has buttons , but it's 2.23 x 1.29 - pretty cool though - a key fob type case. Surprisingly, Bud makes it (HH-3492). I always associate them with big metal racks, etc.

As an alternative look at Serpac, Hammond, or PacTec. They make a variety of nice plastic cases that you can easily machine to accomodate a board mounted switch.

Good luck.
