    20 pole 2 throw

    Thanks for the good idea VE1BLL but I want to make a product out of this so I would need to have a large source that's easily available.

    20 pole 2 throw

    What I want is a box where I can put 3 groups of 4 rs485 plugs, 2 inputs and 1 output. Since the rs485 is a pair I need 4x2=8 for each port, then 3 ports, so I actually need 24 poles. Then with this box I have 2 sources feeding the the box and I can switch between each.

    20 pole 2 throw

    Hello All, I'm making an A-B switch (so I can switch between channel A and B) but I need the switch to have 20 poles. Do any of you know a company that make these? I found this one so far but the wafer switch seems weak. http://www.lorlin.co.uk/m.htm Thanks.

    low modulus?

    I'm looking at thermal material and it advertises a 'low modulus'. I read that the modulud of elasticity is the amout of force required to stretch a material, but in this case I think it's the amount of force to compress a material, because the more it is compressed, ie the thinner it is, the...
