PB86-A1 three-pack of gray plastic step switches featuring integrated red LEDs for clear visual feedback and reliable foot-activated operation.

Description

These hinged momentary step switches are evocative of the 16-step sequencer keys on TR-808 synthesizers. Very tactile with a good clicky feel, each switch has a built-in red LED that indicates on/off status or provides visual feedback when clicked.

Each switch has four legs for mechanical stability and functions as a momentary SPDT switch with two common pins connecting to one of the two throws when pressed. Note that these switches are not breadboard or perf-board friendly and require hand wiring or PCB design.

The embedded red LED is a 3mm, 20mA max, 2.1V forward voltage LED with no built-in resistor. A ~1K resistor is recommended to prevent LED burnout. You can PWM dim the LED from a microcontroller pin or connect it directly to a digital output.

• Three gray plastic step switches with red LED included
• Dimensions per button: 17mm x 12mm x 14mm
• Momentary SPDT switch with four legs for stability
• 3mm red LED (20mA max, 2.1V forward voltage) without resistor included
• Requires external resistor (approximately 1K ohm) for LED protection
• Not suitable for breadboards or perf boards—hand wiring or PCB soldering required

Perfect for use in tactile control applications, retro sequencers, and visual feedback projects.
