Installation Guide
- Drill a 12mm hole in the mounting panel.
- Insert the switch through the hole from the front.
- Tighten the hex metal nut from the back to secure the switch.
- Proceed with wiring using the 4-pin terminals.
4-PIN LED Push Button Switch Wiring Guide
A 4-PIN switch consists of two parts: Switch Contacts (to control the device) and LED Terminals (marked with + and -). Below are two ways to wire the LED indicator.
- Horizontal Pins: The switch mechanism (Power In / Load Out).
- Vertical Pins (+ / -): The LED indicator light terminals.
Method 1: LED Synchronized with Device (On when Active)
Logic: The button light only turns ON when the device is running. It serves as a "Status Indicator."
- Wiring: Connect LED (+) to the Output side of the switch. LED (-) to Power Negative.
- Applications: Power start buttons, car fog lights, industrial machinery.
- Benefit: Saves power; provides visual feedback that the system is active.
Figure 1: LED turns ON only when button is pressed
Method 2: LED Always ON (Backlight Mode)
Logic: The button light stays ON constantly as long as there is power, regardless of the button position.
- Wiring: Connect LED (+) directly to the Power Positive. LED (-) to Power Negative.
- Applications: Dark environments, hallway switches, standby power indicators.
- Benefit: Allows you to find the switch easily in total darkness.

| Mode | LED Status (Idle) | LED Status (Pressed) |
|---|---|---|
| Sync (Status) | OFF | ON |
| Always ON (Backlight) | ON | ON |
Industry Knowledge
What is a 12mm Momentary Push Button Switch with LED?
It is a compact electrical control component where the circuit is closed only while the button is physically held down. Once released, it springs back to its original state. The integrated LED provides status indication, making it essential for automation and user interface panels.
Latching vs. Momentary: Comparison
| Feature | Momentary (This Model) | Latching |
|---|---|---|
| Action | Springs back instantly | Stays in place (On/Off) |
| Common Use | Horns, Reset, Starters | Main Power, Light Switches |
Comparison of Termination Types
| Terminal Type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Pin Terminal | Fast, compact, fits sockets | Requires soldering/connectors |
| Screw Terminal | Easy field wiring | Bulky, not for small sizes |
| Pre-wired | Plug and play | Fixed wire length |
