Space-Saving 12mm Metal Push Button Switch for Tight Projects

Struggling to find a switch that's both robust and space-efficient for your tight-fit projects? Introducing our 12mm metal push button switch—a game-changer designed with optional LED indicators and a convenient latching mechanism. Measuring just 12mm in diameter, it's the ultimate solution for gadgets and devices where larger 16mm switches simply won't fit, offering a sleek, space-saving design without sacrificing durability or performance.

Engineered with precision and practicality at its core, this switch features a 12mm cut-out size, enabling it to integrate seamlessly into narrow panels. Whether you're working on miniature wearables, compact industrial sensors, or portable projectors, this switch is tailor-made to meet your needs. Installation couldn't be easier—drill a 12mm hole (compatible with panels 1-5mm thick), lock the switch securely in place, and enjoy stable, wobble-free operation.

One of the switch's most notable features is its optional LED indicators, which provide clear, instant visual feedback on your device's status. Select from a vibrant color palette to suit your specific requirements: red for "active" mode, perfect for mini pumps; green for "standby", ideal for wearables; and blue to signal mode changes. The diffused lenses are crafted to eliminate glare, while the 50-150 mcd brightness ensures optimal visibility—bright enough to be seen clearly, yet gentle on the eyes. With separate pins for the low-voltage (3V/5V DC) LED circuit and the main power (up to 250V AC/2A), wiring is intuitive and hassle-free. The LED functionality synchronizes flawlessly with the latching mechanism, ensuring the LED illuminates when the switch is on and turns off when the switch is disengaged.

The latching function adds an extra layer of convenience, allowing you to power your device on with a single press and off with another. This makes it an excellent choice for portable projectors, small pumps, and any device where a momentary switch won't suffice. Built to endure, the switch boasts a sturdy metal body, available in either 304 stainless steel or brass plating, providing exceptional resistance to rust, scratches, and everyday wear. With a lifespan exceeding 100,000 presses, you can rely on this switch to withstand the demands of daily use. For applications exposed to moisture, opt for our IP65-rated models, engineered to resist splashes and light rain—perfect for kitchen mini-appliances and other damp environments.

The versatility of our 12mm metal button switch is truly remarkable. Use it in wearables with a green LED for standby status, travel kettles with a red LED to indicate heating, or car USB chargers with an IP65 red LED for enhanced durability. Before installation, be sure to verify the 12mm hole size for a perfect fit and pay close attention to the LED polarity to avoid wiring errors. To maintain peak performance, simply wipe the switch with a dry cloth as needed. Don't underestimate its small size—this switch packs a powerful punch, proving that compactness and reliability can go hand in hand.
