Title: 737 Overhead ON-OFF Toggle Recommendations?
Post by: MistyBlue on September 25, 2017, 08:04:01 AM
Hi all, I'm spec'ing out the toggles for my 737-8 overhead.  I found a nice post by Anders covering the locking toggles which was very helpful.  If anyone needs the reference, please see https://riksarchen.wordpress.com/2011/05/01/b737ng-overhead-toggle-switches/ (https://riksarchen.wordpress.com/2011/05/01/b737ng-overhead-toggle-switches/).

Anyway, I'm looking for what part and where (preferably the U.S.) to purchase the ON-OFF non-locking toggles used throughout the overhead.  Something that is very close to (or is) the real thing.  Searched around but didn't hit on an answer.  Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!
Tony

Hi Tony,
I think these are quite close to the real deal. Might actually be the correct switch.

Thanks Archen!  These say ON-OFF-ON.  Is that a 3 position switch?  I "think" I need a 2 position switch, but this looks close.  Maybe I can find a 2 position version.

Here is a list of all the toggles on the overhead and corresponding part numbers.

Note that some are not the exact same switch as the real aircraft, but will look and function exactly the same.
(i.e. Emergency exit lights, APU, etc,)  Also the magnetic switches for Yaw damper and Wing anti-ice are not listed here.

I think the part no for a Yaw damper switch is 25ET61-S (Honeywell)

Looks like it's a little larger cutout. Might be worth checking if it works out in your ovhd

Sold at mouser for 760 euros ????

Mick, has anyone developed a list of Honeywell switches for the MIP and pedestal?

Thanks.
