Connectors for lifting flaps etc.

Just stumbled upon these better than breaking up old light fittings. Only prob is RS's minimum transaction size.
They're also available on Ebay - just search on "Preci-Dip" (eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Preci-Dip-2- ... SwAnJbYB8X).
But the large picture perhaps doesn't show that the switch is actually quite small and might not be robust enough? An alternative might be a couple of push-to-make switches which are very economical.
I use a push-to-break switch under the flap connected to my Lenz LZV100 command station (E and M terminals) so that if I lift the flap with the layout powered on it signals the LZV100 to cut track power.
