John L Posted December 19, 2020 Report Posted December 19, 2020 Exactly what I'm looking for, IPC for the 1976 M20F, or a Part number for the PUSH to talk on the Pilots (left) yolk. Mine stopped working this last week. Very small switch, we opened the top of the yoke, it will take the exact part number to replace. DocLoar@gmail.com Quote
Hank Posted December 19, 2020 Report Posted December 19, 2020 @asaxet, @John L, it's right here in the Downloads section. Took less than 30 seconds to find it, most if the time was spent choosing which portion to look in first ( it's under Pilot Operating Handbooks, which my Mooney doesn't have): Quote
carusoam Posted December 19, 2020 Report Posted December 19, 2020 Welcome aboard John... You aren’t the first person to ask this question this week... If I worked at Mooney... I would be handing out links to things I could sell, with everything needed to get there... Would you like a cool Mooney T-shirt to go with that parts manual? If I knew somebody at the Mooney factory, I would send him this idea... @Jonny Part of a sales manager / marketing guy’s job is to know all of his/her customers... and reach Quote

In this case... you are a customer already... and reaching out to the company...what’s cooler than that? One day when the Mooney company is back on their feet... they are going to have an online presence... a live human being... or maybe some artificial intelligence with a memory upgrade... Imagine knowing everyone on MS... then expand that to knowing every Mooney owner... Hi, my name is -a-... glad to meet you! Welcome aboard! Best regards, -a- Quote
Vance Harral Posted December 19, 2020 Report Posted December 19, 2020 The Parts catalog Hank linked to won't have a reference for the PTT switch. For whatever reason, Mooney puts the electrical schematics and the part numbers for most electrical components in the Service Manual, not the Parts Manual. Worse yet, the schematics in the Service Manual don't cover any radio gear, including yoke-mounted PTT switches. I expect the best source for information is Mooney themselves. But note that you don't have to install the Mooney-specific part to be legal. Simple electrical switches are "standard parts" which can be replaced with a reasonable equivalent, just like standard bolts, nuts, etc. See https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_20-154.pdf Section 5.b(7)(b), which says: The FAA notified the public in the Federal Register on March 5, 1997 (62 FR 9923) that the interpretation of an acceptable U.S. Government- or industry-accepted specification may include specifications that may be limited to detailed performance criteria, complete testing procedures, and uniform marking criteria. These parts are best exemplified by discrete electrical and electronic parts, which include resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, and nonprogrammable integrated circuits (e.g., amplifiers, bridges, switches, gates, etc.). 1 Quote
RobertGary1 Posted December 19, 2020 Report Posted December 19, 2020 Why not just use a generic ptt switch? Minor mod. 3 Quote
Yetti Posted December 20, 2020 Report Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) This is just a small switch. Some may say micro NO switch. Digikey has many of them. Aircraft spruce also. Sure you did not just loose the top cap? It just closes to ground to a pin on the audio panel. Usually the wire that runs out the back of the hole of the steering shaft chafes.
