Description

These LED Illuminated Triangle Pushbuttons bring a retro-futuristic 1960s or 70s Sci-Fi look to any project. The medium-sized triangular buttons are large enough for easy pressing but compact enough to fit on your project panel without getting in the way.

Each button has a built-in red LED, which can be controlled independently of the switch action for indication or aesthetic purposes. The button body is black plastic, with two switch contacts and two LED contacts (+ and -). The LED's forward voltage is about 3V, and a series resistor between 220 and 1000 ohms is recommended.

The switch contacts are momentary and only close when the button is pressed. The LED and the switch are separate, allowing various lighting configurations such as lighting when pressed, always on, or off.

Use six of these pushbuttons for a unique hexagonal layout, or one at a time to add a touch of vintage style.

  • Momentary pushbutton switch with separate LED control
