Control Parts Supplier

[mkgrady]

I'm looking to buy some control parts...pushbuttons, selector switches, pilot lights, terminal blocks, etc. to make a control panel.

My two local suppliers know very little about these products so I'm looking for a good place to purchase on-line. I do prefer to by local but it isn't always practical.

I found most (not all) of what I want at Grainger but their prices are really high. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

you could also try McMaster-Carr. They've got everything. They might be a little pricey, but they're local. Well, local for me anyways.:grin:

Since we're giving out our favorite vendors, I like to deal with a certain hydraulics vendor for all my controls too. Airline Hydraulics. They're in every state from Maryland to Maine.
