These chrome-plated metal buttons are rugged and look real good while doing it! Simply drill a 16mm hole into any material up to 1/2″ thick and you can fit these in place, there’s even a rubber gasket to keep water out of the enclosure.

On the front of the button is a flat metal actuator, surrounded by a red plastic LED ring. On the back there are 3 contacts for the button (common, normally-open and normally-closed) and 2 for the red LED ring (+ and -). Connect 3 to 6V to the LED to have it light up nicely, there’s a built in resistor! If you want to use this with a higher voltage, say 12V or 24V, simply add a 470 ohm resistor in series with the LED connection to keep the LED current at around 20mA.

This button is a momentary push button, when you press it the ‘normally-open’ contact shorts to the common contact. When you release it, the contacts open up again.

The switch and LED are separated, so you could wire it to turn on when pressed or vice versa or whatever you wish!

These chrome-plated metal pushbuttons are rugged and visually appealing, perfect for any project requiring a durable and functional switch. Designed to fit into a 16mm hole drilled into material up to 1/2″ thick, they include a rubber gasket to prevent water ingress.

The button features a flat metal actuator surrounded by a red plastic LED ring. The back houses 3 button contacts (common, normally-open, normally-closed) and 2 LED contacts (+ and -). The LED ring operates between 3-6V with a built-in resistor; for higher voltages (12V or 24V), a 470 ohm resistor in series is recommended to maintain 20mA LED current.

This is a momentary pushbutton where pressing the button shorts the normally-open contact to common, and releasing it opens the contacts. The switch and LED circuits are separate, allowing flexible wiring options for different use cases.

Features:

• Chrome-plated brass construction for durability
• 16mm drill hole diameter with water-resistant rubber gasket
• Momentary pushbutton with separate LED ring control
• Switch rating: 3A / 250V DC
• Red LED ring with built-in resistor (for 3-6V operation)

Perfect for rugged applications requiring a reliable momentary pushbutton with LED indicator.
