I want to replace four of the combined Push switch/Circuit Breakers used on my Parker 31 Main Switchboard. The plastic thread around the button which pushes through the panel and is secured by a knurled nut has broken and I think three others are going that way. I could just glue the switch to the back of the panel but I would rather replace the switch properly.

The part number for the single pole switch/circuit breaker is 'Weber T12-221' which I have confirmed with RS components and Farnell but they don't stock these but do stock the Circuit Breaker only variant (T12-211) made by Schurter but that doesn't operate as an On-Off switch.

I have also found that a Chinese company TNE also appear to make the T12-221 (and I think make the ones Schurter list). But they don't appear to be available in the UK. I have found them on Ebay either from the US, Germany or Poland.

So my question is has anyone else had the issue and managed to find a UK supplier, an alternative, or possibly just gave up and changed the whole switchboard in which case did they keep any of the old switches that were still Ok and did they want to sell them?

This is second attempt as I tried adding photos before and it crashed so will try adding photos after text.

All the Best and roll on Spring
