Thanks for the responses, it looks to be a double leaf switch activating the lane change, odd it seems to have 5 lugs in total with a diode ? I found this switch but it does not have enough lugs SW-1010A-13 ?

Do you have to buy two switches and rebuild to suit ?

Appreciate your help

To be clear an eos is brass contacts a flipper switch is tungsten to handle higher voltage.

 

[AlanJ]

I presume you are replacing because the flipper switch is worn out and causing issues?
The lane change switch is probably ok because it carries a small current compared to the flipper switch.

2 Options:
Buy the new flipper switch and then add in the existing lane change switch from the old switch stack.

Buy the new double switch and add a diode. The 5th tab is just a meeting point for the diode and the wire, you can dispense with that and just solder the wire to the end of the diode.

You currently have this:

It could be done like this with 4 tabs (bottom right); - You could also use the 5th tab off your old switch stack if you wanted?

Note I cannot tell from your photo which way round the diode is - but just ensure the banded end connects to the same wire as it does now.

Many thanks, I have sourced a double leaf switch so should be able to sort , cheers

Just check the double leaf is two separate insulated leaf switches. Eg, that one you pictured is wrong, you'll be sending coil voltage down into the switch matrix and blow your board

I ordered two for my centaur which ended up being wrong, like the one pictured. I had to pull them apart and modify them like @AlanJ says.
