This 30mm translucent yellow 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 ~15mm 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 (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- SMD
- SMD means surface-mount device, a component style designed to be soldered directly onto the surface of a circuit board rather than through holes. SMD parts are compact and mounted flat on the board, which suits smaller and mass-produced designs.
