A compact, breadboard-friendly illuminated tactile switch featuring a blue LED that shines through a universal power symbol on top. Adds both a momentary pushbutton and a colourful indicator to your project in a single component.

Similar in size to standard 6 mm tactile switches, this button snaps directly into a breadboard. It has four pins — two for the switch contacts and two for the built-in LED (anode and cathode).

Key Features

  • Illuminated Power Symbol – Blue LED shines through the universal power icon
  • Breadboard-Friendly – Comparable to standard 6 mm tactile switches
  • Momentary Action – Spring-return, not a latching on/off switch
  • Independent LED – LED is not connected to the switch; control it separately
  • 4-Pin Design – Two pins for switch, two pins for LED
Note: The LED does not include a current-limiting resistor. Add a ~1 kΩ resistor in series and drive the LED from a microcontroller pin or other source. The cathode is the pin closest to the "line" half of the power symbol.

Ideal For

  • Breadboard prototyping with visual feedback
  • Power button indicators on custom enclosures
  • Interactive electronics projects

Package Contents

  • 1× Mini Illuminated Momentary Pushbutton – Blue Power Symbol

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
