Custom Push Button Switch: OEM RFQ and Sample Checklist
A Custom Push Button Switch RFQ only works when you tell the supplier which changes are true engineering modifications—and which fields are still open—instead of sending a photo and a quantity. This page separates catalog configuration from custom work, shows what to write for contact changes, mounting dimensions, wire length, legend or imprint, and sealing, and ends with a sample gate so production does not inherit a bench-only approval.

Suppliers quote the wrong part when those jobs are mixed in one email. Catalog configuration picks published options on an existing family—head color, LED on or off, contact arrangement offered on that series, terminal style already tooled. The supplier maps your checklist to a stock or lightly configured SKU. Custom modification asks for a change that is not a simple option code: a different actuator geometry, a non-standard panel cutout or thread length, a pre-wired harness length, a laser-etched legend, a contact block not offered on the catalog page, or extra sealing beyond the published description. That path needs drawings, tolerances, approval samples, and explicit “feasibility TBD” flags—not a color code alone. Write the RFQ in two labeled blocks: Configuration fields (what you can select from published options) and Modification fields (what must be engineered or tooled). If every line sits...
