i wrote to manufacturer, but got no responce at all, so i ask for help here (
Try searching the major online electronic components stores like mouser, digikey, jameco, arrow, and newark looking for a tactile switch. The rating will not matter as the current is very low in our flashlight drivers. If you can find the particular one you have, do a search for the manufacture part number. Sometimes parts end up in unlikely places you never thought to look in your own country.
It will also help to narrow your search if you can measure with calipers the size of the old one.
Wow, that’s nice. I wrote them a few times in the past, but never got a reply.
If you replace the switch, I suggest to glue it in to place with a (semi) permanent adhesive in the flashlight’s head. I used Sipik, the buttons tend to break after a while due to stresses on the board solder joint.
I would not recommend 2K epoxy, as it shrinks while curing and will put stress on covered components. I had done this to a flashlight once and when I dropped it all components sheered off.
My recommendation for this is either some pmma glue or silastic compound, while latter is even great for potting electronic components. (Just look for „703“ or „704“ glue on the web)
