This stainless steel electric push button combines sleek design with rugged construction for harsh conditions. With a mounting diameter of 19 mm, the button features a polished 304 stainless steel body that resists corrosion from saltwater and humidity – ideal for use on boats, yachts, ATVs, or exterior panels on vehicles. The front face has an integrated LED ring that illuminates in blue, clearly indicating the button’s status (on or off). This provides a modern look to your control panel and convenient visibility during nighttime operation.
Operation Modes: The button is available in two operation types: latching (maintained ON/OFF) and momentary (spring-return).
- Latching: When pressed, the button locks into the “ON” position and remains on until pressed again to release (OFF). This type is perfect as a master switch for circuits – for example, toggling cabin lights, navigation lights, fans, or pumps on and off. A single press changes the state, and the LED ring can be set to illuminate whenever the circuit is active, serving as a clear indicator of power status.
- Momentary: When pressed, the circuit is completed (ON) only for the duration of the press, and the button returns to the off position upon release. This style is ideal for functions like an engine start button, horn trigger, or any control that requires a momentary signal (such as engaging a relay or sounding an alarm). The LED ring can be wired either to illuminate constantly as a backlight or only when the button is pressed, depending on the desired configuration.
Features & Installation: The button is designed for direct connection to 12V or 24V systems, handling up to 10A, which covers many applications without the need for an additional relay. The front face is sealed to IP65 standards, meaning it’s resistant to water splashes, rain, and spray – suitable for outdoor installations on exposed consoles. The rear of the switch has four terminals: two for the switch contact and two for the LED illumination. Included with the button are pre-attached pigtail wires (~20 cm long) soldered to the terminals, greatly simplifying installation – you simply connect the wires to your power source, load, and ground, without needing to solder onto the switch itself. The button fits into a round 19 mm hole and comes with a metal locking nut that secures it firmly to panels up to about 10 mm thick.
Applications: The stainless LED push button is extremely versatile. In boats and yachts, it’s often used as an engine start/stop button, as its durability and water-resistance stand up to marine conditions. The LED indicator can be wired to glow blue when the ignition circuit is active – a handy feedback for the captain. It also excels as a horn button – the glowing ring is easily visible on the dash for quick access. In automotive and motorcycle setups, it can serve as an ignition switch, a trigger for auxiliary lights or LED accents, or even a nitrous or special feature activation in custom tuner projects, where its stylish appearance complements the function.
The use of stainless steel ensures the button won’t rust or discolor even after years of use, making it an excellent choice for marine equipment, off-road vehicles, RVs, or any vehicle exposed to the elements. Aesthetically, it’s a cut above standard plastic switches – the smooth metal finish and halo LED give any dashboard a professional, modern flair. This button will successfully replace standard factory buttons, improving both the looks and reliability of your system.
