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.

- 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

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- 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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
