Mounting a switch

Hello all, I ordered some C5503ALNAK switches that I wanna use in a project; however I am having issues figuring out how to mount these or connect them to other devices, like I am looking for a plug that works for its pins, the same way u have terminal blocks to connect wires, I am looking for something that connects the terminal (they r calling them C terminals in the datasheet) of this switch to wires as well. Like I want to put this on a drone, so I want the switch to sit on that connector/block that would stick on the surface of the drone, then wires come out the other side of the block. I would appreciate any help!

Welcome to AAC!
The datasheet for those switches is one of the hardest I've ever tried to read. If I interpreted the numbers correctly, you have this terminal:

You need a 0.25"x0.032" quick connect female terminal:

The color of the insulator determines the wire sizes that can be used. Red is for small wires, yellow for the largest.

This is so helpful!! And yeah.. they create one datasheet for all their switches and confuse people lol. Thank you!
