Looking for a similar microswitch

[nuno]

Hello all,

I'm looking for a microswitch similar to this one (small and very low profile, side contacts, it's one of those who click on press, snap-action):

This one apparently isn't manufactured anymore. There seems to be some stock around but at outrageous prices.
The same Saia-Burgess company has a similar model

but I want to know if anyone knows of anything similar, as I can't find any other similar models from any other manufacturer. Current & voltage not important. I'm based in Europe, so preference for something I can buy in Europe.

Thanks a bunch!

What about a normal right angle microswitch? Search for spdt on digikey then filter by switch->snap action, right angle, through hole:

I think yours is 6.5x14mm or so but I didn't check any of the dimensions of these.

thm_w, thanks, but those won't fit. The one I'm trying to replace has the pins exiting the case on de side, so it has only 5mm total height. I know about the ones you suggest, the thing is the pins are "available" on the side but exit the package at the bottom, so the total height is still very long.

Meanwhile I could find an SMD one, I think I'll go with this: http://pt.mouser.com/new/Omron-Electronics/omron-d2ls-switches/
