This LED tactile button combines a standard momentary push switch with a built-in red LED, all housed under a clear cap. It provides visual feedback when illuminated, making it ideal for control panels, interactive projects, and anywhere you need a button that lights up.
The button has a 12 mm body and is rated for 50 mA. Note that it does not fit directly into a standard breadboard — a breakout board is recommended for prototyping.
Key Features
- Built-In Red LED – Illuminated through a clear button cap
- Momentary Tactile Switch – Standard push-button action with tactile click
- 12 mm Body – Compact panel-mount size
- 50 mA Rating – Suitable for direct microcontroller or indicator use
Ideal For
- Control panels and user interfaces
- Interactive electronics projects
- Visual status indicators with button input
Package Contents
- 1× LED Tactile Button (Red)

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- 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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
