This rugged metal pushbutton is a compact panel-mount latching switch for clean on/off control in enclosures, dashboards, control panels and interactive projects. Its stainless steel body gives it a tough, professional feel, while the illuminated green LED ring adds a clear visual indicator.
The switch is SPDT and latching, so pressing it changes the circuit state and pressing it again returns it to the previous state. It uses a 16mm threaded body with a 1mm pitch for mounting into a panel cut-out.
Small solder lugs on the rear make wiring straightforward, and the front face is rated IP65 for protection against dust and splashing water. The LED ring is rated for 5V, while the switch contacts are rated up to 3A at 250VAC.
Supplier documentation includes a datasheet, button sound file and button/switch basics guide.
Features:
- Stainless steel body
- IP65 weatherproof rating
- Tamper resistant
- Latching operation type
- Green LED ring
- Visual indicator: The illuminated green LED ring operates on 5V, providing a clear status indicator or making the button easy to find in the dark.
- Weather resistance: An IP65 rating means the front face of the button is highly protected against dust and water splashing, such as rain.
- Compact mounting: The 16mm threaded body (1mm pitch) drops easily into standard panel cutouts without eating up valuable internal enclosure space.

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.
