Description
Product Description The 16mm Stainless Steel Illuminated On/Off Push Button Switch is a high-grade, compact panel-mount switch designed for sleek aesthetics and industrial durability. Built with a marine-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel body, this switch features an IP65/IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, making it perfect for environments exposed to weather, moisture, or frequent washdowns. It features an integrated crisp LED ring indicator (often referred to as an “Angel Eye”) that clearly displays the system’s power status. This switch operates on a Latching (Self-Locking / Maintained) mechanism—when you press it, it physically locks into the “ON” position, and stays there until you press it a second time to release it back to “OFF”. It uses internal silver-alloy contacts to deliver reliable, spark-free conductivity over a long operational lifespan. Key Specifications Mounting Cutout Diameter: 16 mm (≈5/8 inch) Switch Configuration: 1NO 1NC (Single Pole Double Throw – SPDT) with 5 pins (2 for the LED ring, 3 for the switch contacts). Operation Type: Latching / Self-Locking (Push to lock ON, push again to release OFF) Voltage Options: Widely available in low-voltage DC configurations (12V–24V) or direct mains-voltage AC configurations (230VAC). Current Rating: Typically rated up to 3A or 5A. Compatibility & Applications As a standardized 16mm industrial component, this metal push button is completely non-proprietary. It is universally compatible with any control panel, enclosure wall, or custom dashboard featuring a 16mm circular mounting hole, provided the power draw aligns with the switch’s electrical rating. It is highly popular for replacements, upgrades, and custom builds in the following products and setups: 1. Custom Automotive, Marine & RV Modifications Dash Panel Toggles: Ideal as a premium master power toggle for auxiliary LED light bars, fog lights, underglow kits, or audio amplifiers in cars, trucks, and off-road vehicles. Marine Control Boards: Perfect for boats, yachts, and jet skis due to its rust-proof stainless steel housing and waterproof sealing. Camper Van Power Distribution: Used to switch localized 12V DC grids like water pumps, cabin lights, or inverter systems. 2. PC Modding & High-End DIY Electronics Custom Computer Cases: A favorite among PC enthusiasts as a premium, tactile replacement for standard plastic desktop power and reset switches. Microcontroller Projects: Integrates seamlessly into smart-home enclosures, custom relays, and test boxes paired with Arduino or Raspberry Pi configurations. 3. Industrial Automation & Commercial Equipment Machinery Control Panels: Functions as an explicit on/off switch for small CNC routers, laser engravers, and industrial workstations. Commercial Kiosks & Vending: Highly resistant to vandalism and heavy public usage, making it ideal for ticketing machines, intercom stations, and automated access gates.
