LED Illumination | LED Illuminated Push Button Switches

Many of our switches especially our plastic Push Button switches, metal Anti-vandal switches LED Indicator Pilot lights and PCB switches support LED Illumination. This could be single, bi-colour or RGB LED illumination.

Types of LED Illumination options:

Single LED Illumination	Single LED illumination is the display of a single LED colour. Select from Red, Green, Yellow, White, Blue and Orange (Amber).
Bi-Colour LED Illumination	A bi-colour LED switch means it can display two colours together or alternate between two LED illumination. Select from Red, Green, Yellow, White, Blue and Orange (Amber).
RGB LED Illumination	Switches that are listed with ‘RGB’ LED illumination, with the combination ‘red’, ‘blue’ and ‘green’, over a 16million hues of light can be achieved. However, some pinks and browns are difficult to achieve. See our range of RGB metal switches here.

LED Illuminated PCBs:

PB615 Series	The PB615 series is a range of PCBs available with an array of caps. These caps support single, bi-colour and RGB LED illumination. This PCB series offers a momentary functionality with the option of tactile click-sound feedback.
SPG Series	The SPG range consists of 5 series. The SPG1 / SPG2, SPG3, SPG4 and SPG5. The SPG series, PCB series comprises a range of cap shapes and sizes, momentary functionality with (or without) silent tactile feedback and full LED illumination options.
RJS-K	The RJS-K series is also a range of PCB illuminated push button switches with surface mount terminals. The RJS-K series supports square caps with momentary functionality (with or without) an audible click. These are available in 9mm, 12mm, 15mm and 17.4mm square caps that support single, bi-colour and RGB LED Illumination.
PS011A Series	Our PS011A series consists of smooth noiseless push buttons, ideal for switches being used in sound-sensitive environments, such as broadcast applications. This Push Button switch series is available with full LED illumination and noiseless momentary function. Available with a range of caps including standard with concave square caps, custom options available.
SPC	Our SPC is a range of PCB Push Button switches available with momentary or latching function with LED illumination options including RGB LED. This series is compatible with Smart Caps.
SPD	Our SPD Series is a small PCB switch available with a wide range of cap styles that supports a variety of smart caps. The SPD series is available with or without LED illumination including RGB illumination.

SPK	The RJS-SPK is a tactile feel push button switch, available with LED illumination. One of the main attributes of the RJS-SPK is its rubberised cap and body, making the switch IP67 rated.

Key features:

When looking for LED illuminated push button switches, here are some key features to consider.

Functionality: Momentary, Latching, LED Indicator. Other functions to consider are selector switches, key locking and emergency stop.

Configuration

Momentary Push Button Switches:

A Momentary push button function means that when pressed down, it immediately returns to its natural state. For it to either change the function, it’s required to be touched or pressed.

Latching Switch:

A latching push button function also referred to as maintained, means that it remains in a position until pressed again. It required to be pressed down or touched multiple times to either turn on or off the device or function. It aims to push to make and push to break a cycle and can also be referred to as normally closed push switches.

What are smart caps?

Many of our Push Button switches are available with an array of caps. These caps are referred to as Smart Caps. For more information, see our range of Smart Caps below.

Pole and Throw Configurations

Many of our Push Button switches support a range of poles and throws. Our switches are commonly referred to as single pole and double pole which relates to the number of circuits that are controlled by the switch. The throw defines how many positions the switches poles can be connected to.

SPSP – single pole single throw
SPDT – single pole double throw
DPST – double pole single throw
DPDT – double pole double throw
3PDT – Three poles double throw
4DPDT – Four poles double throw

SPST switches make or break the connection of a single conductor in a single branch circuit. This switch type typically has two terminals and is referred to as a single-pole switch.

SPDT switches make or break the connection of a single conductor with either of two other single conductors. These switches usually have three terminals and are commonly used in pairs. SPDT switches are sometimes called three-way switches.

DPST switches make or break the connection of two circuit conductors in a single branch circuit. They usually have four terminals.

DPDT switches make or break the connection of two conductors to two separate circuits. They usually have six terminals are available in both momentary and maintained contact versions.

Switch Configurations:

A normally open (NO) switch has contacts that are open or disconnected in their unactuated (normal) position. A normally closed (NC) switch has contacts that are closed or connected in their unactuated (normal) position.

Switch Configurations

The switches are electromechanical and available in different configurations including two-position On/Off, three-position, momentary, maintained and more.

Momentary ON – describes contacts that interrupt the circuit when the switch is in the normal, open (NO) position.

Momentary OFF – describes contacts that establish a circuit when the switch is in the normal, closed (NC) position.

Alternate ON/OFF – describes a switch where the first actuation turns the switch ON and the second actuation turns the switch OFF.

Applications:

Our LED illuminated switches are commonly used for a range of applications for commercial and domestic purposes. Our switches can be used for any electronic device that requires to be turned on or off or function requires to be switched on or off. For example, our PCB switches can be used for industries such as Audio & Broadcast, Video and Medical Equipment.
