Anyone know where I can get either a class II door switch or one with somewhere to terminate the CPC? The Jeani ones I've seen are not class II and do not have an earth terminal.

The three I have accounts with don't stock any door switches.Electrical wholesalers
Are you sure they're not class 2.
Yes, spoke to Jeani to confirm
Try this, the wholesalers I normally use have them on the shelf so I'm surprised others don't.

That's the Jeani that I thought the op was referring to. That has to be class 2, doesn't it?
Even if it's not class 2 (I don't see how it can't be) then there aren't any metal parts to earth so there nothing to worry about.
That's my point earlier, if the manufacturer tell you something is class1 they should give you an earth terminal.
My guess would be that he either didn't specify which model of door switch he wanted to know about, or the person who answered the phone didn't know or was taking the mickey, or he has one of the metal switches they make.
I did specify the model, I don't think they were taking the mickey, and is not a metal switch. Class II accessories should have a class II symbol, it does not have one. The man from Jeani I spoke to was not aware of a Jeani door switch that was class II or that had an earth terminal.
Should they? Pattresses and plastic switch plates don't have a class 2 symbol yet people seem to think they are acceptable in a circuit with no earth.
Just to be clear is it a jeani 143 switch? As that's what I've assumed it is so far. If it is then what exactly is it that you want to connect the cpc to? The only metal parts in there are the switch contacts and terminals.
