Led bezel and Switch hole sizes

[michaelp]

Hi all,

I am soon to start building a control panel with track diagram, my question is what size holes do I  need to drill to fit 3mm led bezels and sub miniature toggle switches. I cant seem to find the info I need.

If anyone has fitted these any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

Or drill a small hole and enlarge the hole with bigger bits until the bezel / switches fit......?

Do you have any pictures or part numbers of said bezels and switches. There may be data sheets with the details.

I am in the process of building a control panel made of 3mm plywood. I am using Megapoints supplied 3mm LED's which fit neatly and snugly into a hole drilled with a 3mm drill. I also have a number of SPDT switches which have a 6 mm diameter on the thread and fit comfortably into a 6 mm drilled hole.

 

I suggest that whatever/whoevers components you use, you should trial the best sized drill for the job in on a scrap piece of panel, before you start making holes in your panel.

You could always measure the ones you've got if all else fails?
