This chrome-plated metal pushbutton is built tough and looks great doing it. Simply drill a 16mm hole into any panel up to 12.7 mm thick, drop it in, and tighten the included nut — a rubber gasket keeps water out of your enclosure. The flat metal actuator is surrounded by a blue LED ring that lights up when powered.
The switch and LED are electrically separate, giving you full control over when the ring illuminates — wire it to light on press, stay always on, or whatever suits your project.

- Three Switch Contacts – Common, normally-open, and normally-closed
- Independent LED – LED ring and switch are electrically separated for flexible wiring
- 16 mm Mounting Hole – Fits panels up to 12.7 mm (½″) thick
Ideal For
- Control panels and enclosures
- Outdoor or weatherproof installations
- Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects needing a rugged input
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.
