Installation Guide

1. Prepare the panel by drilling a precise 16mm mounting hole.
2. Insert the push button switch through the front of the panel.
3. Secure the switch from behind using the provided metal hex nut.
4. Connect the 6-wire harness according to your circuit requirements (RGB Sync or Backlight).

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.

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.

Industry Knowledge

What is a Lighted Push Button Switch?

A lighted push button switch is an electrical component that combines a switching mechanism with an integrated LED indicator. In industrial settings, these switches allow operators to see the status of a machine (e.g., Running, Error, or Standby) directly on the control interface, significantly improving safety and operational efficiency.

Latching vs. Momentary: What's the Difference?

Feature	Momentary	Latching
Action	Springs back after release	Stays in place after press
Common Use	Doorbell, PC Reset, Horn	Main Power, Lamp Switch
