I recently installed one from Amazon. Certainly nothing fancy.

It has two circuits, one for probe depth and one which can be wired into E-stop or Z-axis limit for -Z for if something has gone haywire and it is way past the proper probe depth range. Wired it in series as Normally Closed with the E-stop. Happy so far.
