Rocker switch question
 

Hi all,
I have this variable power transformer that I need to replace the
main power switch on. I'm not sure where I could get one or exactly
what type of switch I need. I was told the company that makes this
transformer unit is in China and I would be better off finding a
generic replacement from the USA. I took a photo of it and printed the
specs (to the best of my limited ability) on it. Could someone please
take a look and point me in the right direction to a website link
where I can order one and let me know what exactly do I ask for?
Thanks much in advance! If you have any trouble with the picture link
below, please e-mail me ) and I can attach a
jpeg in my reply.
Regards,

Check Radio Shack - they have very similar switches. Also, check the local
auto supplies store such as Advance, Pep Boys, etc.

Looks like a standard switch. Try an NTE 54-386

Note that the NTE switch uses an separate LED for power indication. You
may want to also look at Alcoswitch's PRG series.

Newark Electronics, Digikey, Mouser, etc. All have websites.

Probably needs to be a higher rated switch, as a transformer may pull
a lot of current. Be generous with the specs.

Happy trails,
