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
- SW1
Normally-open pushbutton switch contact. Adafruit states the two switch contacts are not connected normally and temporarily connect while pressed.
Type · signal - SW2
Second normally-open pushbutton switch contact. It closes to SW1 only while the button is pressed.
Type · signal - LED+
Positive terminal for the built-in LED, separate from the switch action.
Type · powerVoltage · LED forward voltage about 2.2V; use a 220 to 1000 ohm series resistor from a 3V or higher source per Adafruit product page. - LED-
Negative terminal for the built-in LED, separate from the switch action.
