Add a rugged, polished control to your enclosure or panel with this metal latching pushbutton. The stainless steel body and illuminated red LED ring give projects a clean, professional interface while standing up to regular use.
The switch is SPDT and latching, making it well suited to basic On/Off control where each press changes the circuit state and the next press returns it. It uses a 16mm threaded body with a 1mm pitch for panel mounting.
Small solder lugs on the rear make wiring straightforward, and the red LED ring can be used as a clear status indicator or to help locate the button in low light. Supplier documentation includes a datasheet, button sound file, and button/switch basics guide.
Features:
- Stainless Steel Body

- Tamper Resistant
- Latching Operation Type
- Red LED Ring
- Visual Indicator: The illuminated red 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.

A dependable choice for custom control panels, dashboards, workshop gear and interactive builds that need a tough latching power or mode button.
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.
