This 30mm translucent red arcade button has built-in LEDs for a beautiful illuminated look. Two surface-mount LEDs with a ~1K resistor are embedded in the button body in a series configuration, drawing just 5mA from a 5V supply.
The button screws into place through material up to ~20mm thick, covering any imperfections in the mounting hole. A pre-installed micro-switch with gold-plated contacts provides smooth action with clear tactile feedback. Separate contacts for the LEDs sit next to the switch contacts for easy wiring.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
