Mini Cable Pull Switch

[Disaster_Guy]

Is anyone aware of a source for a small cable pull switch? Basically I am looking for a micro version of a breakaway switch on a trailer. I am looking to use it to trigger an event upon nose cone separation.

Have you tried something like this: http://www.connect-tech-products.com/pdfbook/J-355.pdf with a mono plug?

Good idea Kevin. I would need it to be in a normally open configuration but that may be the way to go. I forgot that many phone jacks have a switch mechanism in them.

The cool think about that switch is it has both normally open and normally closed sides. If you only want normally open, then you can get by with a mini jack with no switch.
