Add a rugged, tidy control to your project with this small panel-mount metal pushbutton. It is a latching SPDT switch suited to basic on/off functions, with a stainless steel body and an illuminated yellow LED ring for a clean, professional-looking interface.
The 16mm threaded body with 1mm pitch is designed for compact panel mounting, while the tamper-resistant metal construction gives it a heavy-duty feel. The front face has an IP65 weatherproof rating for protection against dust and water splashing, such as rain.
Connection is via small solder lugs that are terminated with hookup wire, helping keep installation neat inside an enclosure. Supplier documentation includes a datasheet, a button sound MP3 and a button/switch basics guide.

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.
