DIP Illuminated Switch

Product Description

An illuminated switch is an advanced electrical control component that integrates a switching mechanism with built-in lighting for instant visual feedback. Whether used as an illuminated light switch, illuminated push button switch, or backlit light switch, this product allows users to clearly see the switch status even in low-light or dark environments.

Compared with traditional switches, a lighted light switch or illuminated push button improves usability, safety, and system monitoring. Available in multiple forms such as illuminated mushroom head push button and illuminated selector switch, these switches are widely used in medical devices, consumer electronics, and industrial automation systems.

Product Operating Principle

GE Healthcare Infusion Pumps – Emergency Buttons Illuminated Tact Switch

This illuminated switch combines tactile actuation with instant LED illumination to provide real-time status feedback. When the switch is pressed, internal contacts close to complete the circuit while the integrated LED lights up simultaneously, indicating active status.

The DIP-mount design ensures secure PCB integration, and the slim height of only 8.2 mm makes it ideal for space-critical applications such as servers, medical equipment, and compact control panels. Once released or switched off, the contacts open and the illumination turns off, clearly signaling the system state.
