Metal Push Button with Blue LED Light – 12V 12mm

Tactile switches and light-up buttons add a certain charm to your electronics projects that touchscreens just can’t compare. Press a small button on the side of your table to unlock your door or open a secret compartment. There are countless projects Makers create that require push buttons, and having a few handfuls in your workshop drawers for when you need one is always a good idea. These Metal 12mm Push Buttons even light up with blue LEDs, and it’s really handy to have a simple on/off switch so that we don’t have to unplug our electronics or disconnect batteries when we want to put projects to rest.

Different button types are needed for certain fun DIY devices. These Blue LED Push Buttons are momentary push buttons, which means the switch is activated for as long as you supply continuous compression. As soon as you lift your finger, the switch turns off again. While this will prove rather useless as a once-off button to operate a light switch, it is exactly what you need to create a door buzzer, homemade walkie-talkie, or electronic drill.

This Blue LED Push Button stands out with a bright ring of light on the button face and is made of durable stainless steel. Connect this metal waterproof button to your modules or wiring with its 4 pins. The bright LED light makes these buttons easy to spot in an emergency. The domed shape makes it comfortable to press, and the blue LED colour completes the style of your intricate prototype designs.
