Description

Introducing the LED Illuminated Triangle Pushbutton in blue, reminiscent of 1960s and 70s sci-fi control panels. Its retro-futuristic triangular design makes it a unique addition to any project, especially when used in clusters of six for a hexagonal layout.

This medium-sized pushbutton is easy to press and fits well on most project panels. It features a built-in blue LED that can be controlled independently from the switch, allowing versatile lighting effects such as lit when pressed, lit when not pressed, or always on.

The button housing is black plastic with two contacts for the switch and two for the LED (marked + and -). The LED has a forward voltage of approximately 2.2V and requires a 220 to 1000 ohm resistor in series to a 3V or higher power supply for protection.

Note: The included LED is non-diffused, which might not provide the best aesthetics. For an improved look, consider using diffused 5mm LEDs inserted into the button.

  • Built-in blue LED with separate control
  • Black plastic body, medium size
  • Two switch contacts (momentary) and two LED leads
