microswitch brands

[kchida]

Which microswitch brand(s) offer the greatest reliability and quality? I understand that this may be somewhat subjective, but I'd like to get a feel for what everyone here prefers (i.e. I need to find the Mercedes Benz of the microswitch world). I deal mostly with low to intermediate level loads and a subminiature format.

Right now, I'm looking at Licon/ITW switches, but I can't find any decent sealed versions.

I concur with itsmoked, they come to my mind first. Good marketing

Wheels within wheels / In a spiral array
A pattern so grand / And complex
Time after time / We lose sight of the way
Our causes can't see / Their effects.

Saia-Burgess, Honeywell, and Cherry all make decent sealed switches. Are you looking for a bare V3 or V4 style, or a ruggedised limit switch style?
