Blue Parallax Tactile Switch Datasheet?

Does anyone know specifically which part number and manufacturer creates the following switch:

www.parallax.com/Store/Components/Other/tabid/157/CategoryID/32/List/0/SortField/0/Level/a/ProductID/203/Default.aspx

I have a few of these and they don't seem to match, in dimension, the typical Tyco/Omron 6mm x 6mm tactile switches. These measure a little bigger (~7mm x 7mm ish)

I am updating my parts library.

Thanks,
graham

    If Parallax sells them just use the Parallax description and part number

    The manuf. part number and datasheet is not provided. That would have been easy had that been the case.

    There are many other manufacturers of momentary contact tactile switches if you don't want to buy from Parallax. Alps makes some and DigiKey caries them.

    Umm. Thanks, but did you bother to read the original post? I'm updating my PCB library parts list and would like to get to dimesioned specs., such as recommended hole dimensions and etc.

    You have one and you measured it, can you not use that to update your library?
