This heavy-duty metal pushbutton is a compact panel-mount latching switch with an illuminated white LED ring. It gives custom panels, enclosures and interactive projects a clean, rugged interface for basic on/off control.
The switch is SPDT and latching, so pressing it changes the circuit state, then pressing it again returns it to the previous state. The stainless steel body and 16mm threaded mounting make it well suited to neat control panels where a plastic switch would not feel substantial enough.
Small solder lugs on the rear provide secure wiring points, and the front face carries an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water splashing. Documentation noted by the supplier includes a datasheet, button sound file and a button and switch basics guide.
Features:
- Visual Indicator: The illuminated white 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.
