Electrical Contacts

You are correct. I didn’t realize the ad continued. I thought that was for a light socket. All in all by the time you throw in shipping that’s no bargain. No wire? McMaster is great for the shipping thing. That little packet will show up in a 12X12X10” box stuffed with paper. Bob L

Just looked at the site and it is a package of 10 for $4.99.

Thanks, I thought I had it right...!
Even if shipping is another 5 bucks, that makes the buttons a buck apiece. If that's too much for some people, I guess they can figure something else out.

Commandment#1
Thou shall never, even under the influence of drink, mental unstableness, the treat of bodily harm or dismemberment. Will thou pay retail!

Now you've opened up a can of worms Bob.... there's 9 more to go....

Commandment#2
If you can see it, your going to pay for it!

I've never had a source for those contacts, so have used very small, brass, hollow rivets from the hardware store. Just solder onto the end of the wire. The heads are flat, but the edges can be beveled with a file. I have used them on a number of light sockets sucessfully. I don't know if the rivets are common, but I get them at my local ace hdw........Rod
