Description

These chrome-plated metal buttons are rugged and stylish, perfect for various electronics projects. Simply drill a 16mm hole into any material up to 1/2" thick to install. The button is equipped with a rubber gasket to keep water out of the enclosure. The front features a flat metal actuator surrounded by a blue plastic LED ring.

The back has 3 contacts for the button (common, normally-open, and normally-closed) and 2 terminals for the blue LED ring (+ and -). The LED operates from 3 to 6V with a built-in resistor; for higher voltages (12V or 24V), a 470 ohm resistor in series is recommended to keep the LED current around 20mA.

This is a momentary push button: when pressed, the 'normally-open' contact shorts to the common contact, opening again when released. The switch and LED are independently wired for flexible control.
