These chrome-plated metal buttons are rugged, but certainly not lacking in flair. Simply drill a 16mm hole into any material up to 1\/4\" thick and you can fit these in place – there's even a rubber gasket to keep water out of the enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the front of the button is a flat metal actuator, surrounded by a plastic RGB LED ring. On the back there are two gold contacts for the button and 4 for the RGB LED ring (one anode and 3 cathodes for each red, green, and blue). Power the anode at 3-6V and light up the red, green, and blue LEDs by pulling their designated contacts to ground as you desire – there's a built in resistor! If you want to use this with a higher voltage, say 12V or 24V, simply add a 1K ohm resistor in series with the LED cathodes to keep the LED current at around 20mA. You can PWM the RGB pins to make any color you like.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis button is a latching push button, when you press and release it the 'normally-open' contact shorts to the common contact and stays that way. When you press and release it a second time, the contacts open up again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe switch and LED are electrically separated, so to change the color, use a microcontroller to both read the contact pins and toggle the color control pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrab a pack of our 2.8mm Quick-Connect Wire Pairs to wire these up!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Pi Hut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48624157294810,"sku":"jsp1789685058184","price":11.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/8318\/3834\/files\/rugged-metal-pushbutton-with-black-finish---16mm-6v-rgb-latching-16mm-black-latc_1.jpg?v=1789685062","url":"https:\/\/memoryfoamwear.shop\/products\/rugged-metal-pushbutton-with-black-finish-16mm-6v-rgb-latching-16mm-black-latching","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
