LED Illuminated Triangle Pushbutton A.K.A 1960s Sci-Fi Buttons
We've got plenty of round and square buttons, but these LED Illuminated Triangle Pushbuttons are welcome to the party. These make us think of 1960's or 70's Sci-Fi control board buttons. As everyone knows, triangular buttons are the most retro-futuristic of all button shapes.
Pinout
- Switch contact 1
One of the two pushbutton switch contacts. Adafruit states there are two contacts for the button.
Type · signal - Switch contact 2
Second pushbutton switch contact. Source confirms separate button contacts from the LED contacts.
Type · signal - LED +
Positive contact for the built-in LED, marked + on the product. Use with a series resistor as for a normal LED.
Type · powerVoltage · LED forward voltage about 2.2V; source recommends series resistor from 3V or higher supply - LED -
Negative contact for the built-in LED, marked - on the product.
Type · ground
