Adafruit LED Illuminated Triangle Pushbutton A.K.A 1960s Sci-Fi Buttons

Transport your projects to the retro-futuristic era with our LED Illuminated Triangle Pushbuttons, reminiscent of 1960s and 70s sci-fi control panels. These triangular buttons offer a unique aesthetic compared to round or square alternatives.

With their medium size, they’re effortlessly pressable without cluttering your project panel. Each pushbutton incorporates a separate LED, allowing for versatile lighting arrangements: illuminating when pressed, when not pressed, or continuously.

Specifications include a yellow plastic exterior and a black body. The button features two switch contacts, temporarily connecting upon press, and LED contacts marked for polarity. Operating at a forward voltage of about 2.2V, a 220–1000 ohm resistor is recommended for use with 3V or higher power supplies.

The included LED is non-diffused, so consider substituting with 5mm diffused LEDs for optimal visual effect. Whether arranged singularly or grouped in a hexagonal motif, these pushbuttons are perfect for adding distinctive flair to any project.
