Good source (local or online) of inline 12v switches?
I want to add switches to some 12v items and I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding inline 12v switches. I'm looked for something similar to what is pictured below. Any good sources online or a chain store that I may have near me? I already struck out at Radioshack. The one pictured below is $10 and I would have to cut off the connectors. I'm hoping there is a more economical option.
Thanks!

HI,
The one you picture seems to be a pretty good solution. What's the problem?

What are you adding the switches to? Are they going to be mounted to something or just hanging? Those are the switches you would use on heated riding gear for a motorcycle, or maybe a lamp. I wouldn't know where to get them cheaper but you check your cycle shops out.

Just wondering if they come cheaper without connections that I have to cut off but if that isn't the case, then I'll go with the one pictured.Originally Posted by Karma

The switches in the links are decent solutions but I need it to be self-contained, not surface mount.
Actually, this is exactly what I'm looking for but this seller is in Australia and does not appear to ship to the US. Haven't found anything similar online in the US yet other than one pictured above. These are simple and only $2USD/each:

Sure, rated 120v, not 12v, but at the very low amperage you are using, they'll work fine.
