Rugged Metal On/Off Switch - 22mm 6V RGB On/Off

By popular demand, we now have rugged metal buttons with a full color RGB LED ring light! These chrome-plated metal buttons are rugged, but certainly not lacking in flair.

This is a 22mm On/Off version of the RGB pushbutton. Simply drill a 22mm hole into any material up to 1/4" thick and you can fit these in place – there's even a rubber gasket to keep water out of the enclosure. On the front of the button is a flat metal actuator, surrounded by a plastic RGB LED ring. On the back there are 4 metal contacts for the RGB LED ring (one anode and 3 cathodes for each red, green, and blue) and 4 spade contacts for the switches. Once pressed, the button will stay down until pressed a second time, unlike momentary pushbuttons.

To use the RGB LED: Power the anode at 3-6V and light up the red, green, and blue LEDs by pulling their designated contacts to ground as you desire – there's a built in resistor! For higher voltages (12V or 24V), add a 1K ohm resistor in series with LED cathodes to keep current around 20mA. PWM control of the RGB pins allows any color.

To use the switches: Two electrically separate SPST switches inside. Inner contacts are normally-closed; they open when pressed and re-close when pressed again. Outer contacts are normally-open.

The switch and LED are electrically separated, enabling microcontroller control of contact pins and LED color.
