These translucent arcade buttons redefine interactive design with built-in LEDs that illuminate your every move. Sized for miniature arcade controls, they fit into a 30mm diameter hole with ease, thanks to their screw-in design. They accommodate up to 15mm thick materials, concealing imperfections in the mounting surface.
Their smooth action ensures you always know when a button is pressed, featuring a micro-switch with gold-plated contacts for reliable performance. Even without illumination, each button boasts a crystal-clear, glossy appearance that captivates the eye.
Integrated into the button body are two surface-mount LEDs complete with resistors, ready to light up with minimal setup. The LEDs operate in series with a 200-ohm resistor, drawing just 5mA at 5V. This configuration allows direct connection to microcontroller pins or a USB power source. It's important to note that red and yellow versions require at least 5V, as 3.3V is inadequate for these in-series LEDs.
Enhance your project with the 30mm Translucent Yellow version of these striking LED arcade buttons by utilizing the 0.11" Quick-Connect Wire Pairs for seamless connections.
