As above is there such thing as a latching microswitch, similar to the type below??



If so where can I get one, if not bugger lol.

RS components if one is available

Farnell also. You could design a Monostable Circuit to Toggle On trigger......

Yeah or use the micro switch to switch a latching/time delayed relay....

Basically I need to make a funky ignition circuit, where one latched switch triggers a relay for fuel pump, and coil, and activates power yo the second switch, which activates a starter motor.
BUT I want to use buttons off an arcade game, hence these microswitches.

You can get klatching micro switches i looked around yesterday, RS components, or Radio spares.

BUT i dont know if they are the same size as the one pictured as the latching mechanism is alot bigger etc

Also you could do it with an electronic microswitch which pules....

Or with some latching relays activated by the switches

Will have a look properly now I'm off work for a few days.
Searching whilst on your phone is not easy lol.

If the switch you're going to use is latching, won't that mean your starter motor is running permanently from the instant you turn on the ignition? I could be missing something, but that doesn't sound like an entirely desirable scenario.

Nope, Id go for a switch to a time delay relay...
