I recently needed a very small, easy-to-wire micro tactile switch that was also illuminated, so I went ahead and produced a few color options for the community. These LED-based switches are so small that they can be put nearly anywhere, and boy, are they bright! These can be used in conjunction with 5mm LED bezels to create your own tactile accent LED switch (kits now available!) or simply placed in a switch box and illuminated for added effect.
Installation tip - Turn down your iron when soldering these to ensure the pads do not separate from the PCB. I have wired 10 of them so far, at high heat with zero issues, but for those who may be less experienced soldering, be sure to make quick contact or turn down your iron to the lowest melting point of your solder brand.
Specifications:
Width - 4.9mm x 4.9mm (Includes button stem
