Sparkfun Metal Pushbutton - Momentary (16mm, Yellow)

A clean, heavy-duty metal interface is incredibly satisfying, and this 16mm momentary pushbutton delivers just that. Designed for custom panels and interactive projects, it features a stainless steel body and a glowing yellow LED ring, providing a polished look that elevates any enclosure or control panel. This SPDT momentary switch is ideal for basic input functions, changing the circuit state only while pressed.

Perfect for environments ranging from workshops to dashboards, this button is built to endure. Its metal housing withstands heavy daily use without cracking or wearing down, and the internal contacts manage up to 3A at 250VAC, ensuring durability and reliability in various applications.

The illuminated yellow LED ring, operating at 5V, not only serves as a clear status indicator but also makes the button easy to locate in low-light conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial for projects requiring immediate visual feedback or operation in dimly lit areas.

With an IP65 rating, the button's front face offers excellent protection against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for outdoor use or in environments where it might encounter rain or moisture.

The compact design includes a 16mm threaded body with a 1mm pitch, allowing for easy installation in standard panel cutouts without taking up excessive space inside the enclosure. It comes with small solder lugs on the back for secure wiring, and with an overall length of just 3.8 centimeters, it maintains a clean and professional layout.
