I'm thinking about adding a remote switch to one of my converted Lumicycles, but am struggling to come up with a suitable connector.
I'd like to use something other than a 2.5mm connector to avoid the possibility of getting it confused with the power connector.
Needs to be as small as possible, and ideally waterproof. I'd also consider an in-line connector on small lead.
Any suggestions? Rummaging around on RS/Rapid/Maplin hasn't turned up any obvious options.
in terms of the connector , whynot just useanother 2.5mm connector, but swap the male / female side of it so that you cant mix up the power / switch end.
I've got a couple of old cateye RC220/230 bar mountswitches - you could have one for postage. [url= http://www2.cateye.com/uk/product_detail/95 ]http://www2.cateye.com/uk/product_detail/95[/url] could probably sort out some cable with appropriate connectors on it too.
wwaswas - thanks for the offer, but it's for my road bike and I'm planning a little push button switch hidden under the hoods of the STI levers. I was actually wondering about getting a flight deck switch and wiring into that, but they're silly money.
fisha - yep, that would work if I go down the route of an inline connector.
