Can anybody tell me who makes a switch like this?

I have been looking at web sites for Cherry and ITT but not seen exactly
what I am looking for. The switch I need must be just as small as the one
pictured here, an exact match would be ideal.

Any tips appreciated.

go to DigiKey.com and use their online search.

It is not as easy as you might think! I have been to digikey.com and
searched/looked through the catalog but I have not seen the switch I want
yet. There are many tact switches, but none depicted as this style.
Yesterday I emailed digikey's support people and asked if they knew of a
similar switch. I have heard good stories about the support at digikey but
I have always just placed orders. Hopefully they come through for me!

Thanks,

How many do you need? <http://www.marvac.com/surplus/tactilesw.htm>

I think your switch *might* be an Omron device, B3S variant without
ground tab <http://oeiweb.omron.com/Products-Switches3.shtm>.

Also look at <http://www.lambind.com/catalog/tsm.shtml>.

If this is out of a "real" appliance, chances are it's from some
nameless Chinese manufacturer who copies the footprints of a brand name.
