## Description

A 16mm illuminated pushbutton with a built-in blue LED and latching on/off action. Press once to switch on, press again to switch off — ideal for power switches, mode selectors, and control panels. The LED is wired independently from the switch contacts, giving you full control over when the light is on. You can have it light up when the switch is active, when it's off, or keep it always lit — whatever suits your project. The LED has a forward voltage of approximately 3V; connect a 220–1000Ω resistor in series when using a 3V or higher supply. Key Features Latching On/Off Action – Push to toggle between connected and disconnected states Built-In Blue LED – Independently controlled from the switch for flexible indicator options 4 Contacts – Two for the switch, two for the LED (marked + and −) 16mm Panel Mount – Medium-sized button, easy to press without being bulky Black Plastic Body – Clean look with blue illuminated face Ideal For Project enclosures and control panels Power on/off switches with LED indicators Mode selection buttons Arduino and microcontroller input projects Package Contents 1× 16mm Blue Illuminated Latching Pushbutton Tip: This button is also available in red, green, yellow, and white. Need momentary instead of latching? See the Blue Momentary version.
