Slim (very slim?) rocker switches

I seem to recall something like this in a shop that sold supplies for model making but where you would find such a shop these days is anyones guess, hobby shops seem to have all but vanished. Brian

That may well do for the internal contacts of the switch. Most need at least 20mm depth behind them often 25mm. Best I can think of would be some kind of DIY using magnetic reed switches and Nd magnet tape.

Plenty of slide switches which would fit...

Would an architrave light switch suffice?

Yes, but not very handy for light switches.

I've been using mains 'in-line' switches which were OK but they're beginning to fall apart.

If it was a fraction of the size of all the ones I've seen so far, yes! :-) All the ones I have seen seem to be about 1" x 1" x 4", my existing (but beginning to fall apart) in-line switches are nearer .5" x 0.5" x 2".

Slider switches would be easier to find for that confined space.

If you can fit one to a plate yourself, I'd look at the various electronic suppliers like CPC. Rocker switches for equipment. They come in a big range of shapes and sizes.

I've searched through CPC, Rapid and others. The rocker switches are all very similar, 20mm round hole and needing about 25mm (maybe a bit less) depth behind the panel.

I had hoped to find something with side connections but I then realised (of course) that connections on the sides won't go through the panel hole!
