Illuminated Toggle Switch with Cover - Blue

Fire up your engines with the Illuminated Toggle Switch with Cover in Blue. This switch features an aerodynamic blue protective casing and a diffused blue LED at the tip that adds both flair and practical illumination to your projects.

Commonly used on control panels, this toggle switch can emulate the control aesthetics of racing cars, fighter jets, submarines, factory controls, and more. It controls virtually any accessory with a rated voltage of up to 12V max. The LED lights up at 3 volts, enabling functionality at lower voltages. Despite '20 A' marked on the side, it is recommended to use at 1-2A max.

The wiring is unique due to the three pins handling both switch and LED connections. The anode of the LED connects through a resistor to the pin marked with a 'headlamp' symbol, the cathode connects to the ground pin, and the switch toggles the connection between the (+) pin and the 'headlamp' pin.

Wiring options include:

• Using the toggle to connect/disconnect two pins to control a device
• Powering the LED constantly by providing 3-12V between ground and headlamp pin
• Powering the LED only when the switch is ON by powering the (+) pin and grounding the ground pin

The protective cover turns the switch off when flipped closed but can be removed if not desired.
