Default Need part # for Hitec Flash 5 replacement trainer switch

Does anyone know what the part # is for the Hitec Flash 5 trainer switch? I'm going to be placing an order with [link=http://www.mouser.com]Mouser.com [/link] for some components to make a [link=http://www.californiasailplanes.com/Powerjack.html]switchcraft charging plug[/link] for my next project, so if someone can tell me the Mouser product #, I can order it at the same time.

I was recently out flying my bungee launched 1-meter sloper when my daughter accidentally stumbled over my Hitec Flash 5 TX (which I had foolishly set on the ground while retrieving the sloper from some tall grass). My daughter stepped on the trainer jack switch (2nd from the left along the top of the TX) and completely bent it to the side.

The switch looks pretty bad and now it flops around in its housing (but it doesn't seem to have any other mechanical or electrical problems). Still, I'd prefer replacing it with a new trainer switch just to play things safe.
