Looking for a DBDP on/off switch

[sg20]

Can anyone help me find an alternating action switch. The switch works like a mechanical pen; press for on all the time, and press for off all the time. It's typically works like a computer on/off switch. Any info or tip would be appreciated.

Every switch manufacturer makes them. But don't look for "DBDP" - never heard that acronym. Just google "on-off switch" for a huge selection.

Check this for a general info on different switch types.

The one you are looking for is called a "Push-Push On/Off switch".

Or searh for "push-on push-off". That's what most of them in the US call them.
