ITT Shadow NE18T70

Does anyone know if there is a 'modern' equivalent of the ITT Shadow NE18T70 part? This seems to be a common power switch in HP and other test gear from ~20-30 years ago.

So far I've only managed to find very overpriced ($30 each) ones that ship from China or crusty looking NOS that looks like they sat on a shelf in 95% humidity for three decades.

Just to follow up on this it looks like the C&K NE182UEE6AMP is a good match and is readily avilable from both Digi-Key and Mouser.

I'll confirm once I receive the switch and verify the metal bracket from the old switch is able to be swaped over.

Hi Kelchm,

I have the same issue that I am looking for this main switch. If you received the C&K version could you please confirm that it is a perfect match and the metal bracket can be swapped over?

i think its a good substitue minus the metal screws holder, you can remove it by slowly unbending the 4 small pins, and slide it away from the switch
