This rugged panel-mount pushbutton is a neat choice when you want a clean, heavy-duty control for an enclosure, dashboard or custom interface. It uses a stainless steel body with a blue illuminated LED ring for a polished, easy-to-see finish.
The switch has latching operation, so it changes state when pressed and stays there until pressed again, making it well suited to basic on/off functions. It is an SPDT switch with small solder lugs on the back for wiring.
The 16mm threaded body with 1mm pitch is designed for compact panel mounting, while the IP65-rated front face helps protect against dust and splashing water.
Features:
- Stainless Steel Body: Rugged metal construction for a durable panel interface.
- IP65 Weatherproof Rating: Protected front face for dust and water splashing resistance.
- Tamper Resistant: Designed for tougher panel installations.
- Latching Operation Type: Press once to change state, press again to return.
- Blue LED Ring: Illuminated ring for status indication or visibility in the dark.
Specifications:
- Switch type: SPDT
- Threading: 16mm
- Thread pitch: 1mm
- Switch current rating: up to 3A
- Switch voltage rating: 250VAC
- LED voltage rating: 5V
- Connection: small solder lugs
- Overall length including leads: 1.5"
- Mounting Hole: 16mm
- Pitch Threading: 1mm
- Bezel Diameter: 18mm
- Overall Length: 31mm (not including leads)
A solid option for custom control panels, interactive projects and enclosure-mounted on/off controls where a robust metal switch and visual indicator are useful.
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.
- Thread
- A low-power wireless mesh networking standard designed for smart home and IoT devices. It matters because Thread devices can relay messages through each other, helping build reliable networks for sensors and controllers.
