Dale,
Try a miniature switch, by Omron - their part #V-15G-1B6-K. It can
be purchased from W.W. Grainger, their catalog #3XG42, and sells for
$4.67 each. The switch has two sets of contacts and can be connected
as normally open or normally closed,so it can be used for most any
project needing a really small switch that is easily mounted.
