16mm Illuminated Pushbutton - Red Latching On/Off Switch

IT'S FUSION TIME! Here we give you a lovely LED/button combination, that is a decent size, which does not get in the way of your project panel, but is big enough to press with ease. With it's built-in LED, you can control this separately from the switch action to either indicate. or with the deliciously warm glow that emits from it, you can just have it there to look good.

The body is a black plastic with an LED built inside. There are two contacts for the button and two contacts for the LED, one marked + and one -. The forward voltage of the LED is about 2.2V so connect a 220 to 1000 ohm resistor in series just as you would with any other LED to your 3V or higher power supply.

This particular button has a Red body and is latching on/off. The two switch contacts are either connected or disconnected. When you push the button they will switch from one to the other, like an on-off switch. The LED is separated from the button, so you can make it light up when on, light up when off, always lit, etc.

We have these buttons in a lovely range of colours (5 in total) Click here to view them.
