IDEC XA1E-BV302VR
The full part number is IDEC XA1E-BV302VR. There are four PC board solder terminals, which provide two independent normally-closed switches (that is, it is a DPST-NC switch). The panel hole required is 16mm diameter, and the button is 29mm diameter. These retail for about $37. Full technical specs and application instructions are online at IDEC's Web site. This is a top-quality e-stop switch. IDEC's XA series are extra fail-safe, in that if the switch comes apart or is damaged, it opens the contact (most e-stop switches, if you hit them too hard, pop the microswitch out of its holder and defeat the stopping action, a very dangerous condition). I expect these are on eBay for cheap because most of us want screw terminals, not the PC board terminals found on this part. The terminals are *not* solder terminals (with holes for securing a wire), they are only meant for inserting into a soldered PC board. To use this, you have to add your own circuit board to properly attach wires to it. You can use protoboard to improvise that. Soldering wires directly to the PC board terminals is not a good practice, as this has no mechanical security: the solder joints are prone to fatigue and then come loose. IDEC says you can only solder for 3 seconds, so use proper tools and technique; you don't want to damage a fail-safe component.Read full review

Great Product
Great switch, the terminals are PCB (printed circuit board) mount which was a surprise, but I was able to solder a 20 guage wire to them without a problem.
