They are a part of Rockwell now:

If you are looking for basic switches and such, check out Automation Direct:

Great people to deal with, decent prices and they keep a lot of stuff in
stock.
They carry the Eaton / Cutler-Hammer line.

You might want to give them a call as there might be something that has the
same form-factor as the A-B units and would be a lot cheaper.

Wikipedia has a nice article on A-B:
