1. What is the illuminated push button switch?

Different illuminated push button types

The illuminated push button switch is an electromechanical switch that has illumination hence it has the ability to always produce light all the time or just whenever the actuator is pressed.

The main reason why the illuminated push button switch is developed is to help the user to easier locate the switch in a dark room or space.

There are other terms used to refer to the illuminated push button switch such as the illuminated button switch, illuminated button, illuminated round push button switches, illuminated type push button switch, push button illuminated, push button illuminated switch, illuminated switches push button, push button switch with light, or push button with light.

The earliest recorded invention of the illuminated switch was the household LED illuminated light switch which was introduced back in the middle of the 1950s.

It was a single pole switch with an incorporated “neon” lamp that only needs a small amount of current which was worked seamlessly with halogen lighting, incandescent lamps, and non-electronic fluorescent fixtures.

Eventually, the neon lamp was replaced by LED which has lower energy consumption, smaller size, longer life, and faster switching and is usually used for the illuminated light switch for LED lights.

2. How does the illuminated push button switch light up?

The illuminated push button switch works similar to standard push button switches but because it has an illuminating element inside it, there’s a significant difference in its inner workings.

The illuminating element lights up depending on how you wire the illuminated push button switch.

You can wire it for the illuminating element to be always on, the illuminating element will stay on all the time even when the button is in its default state.

And another way is for the illuminating element to light up only when the button is pressed.

For the LED illuminated light switch, it emits light due to the electroluminescence phenomenon where the LED element lights in reaction to the passage of an electric current.

Unlike neon lamps, the LED illuminated pushbutton’s brightness remains the same no matter which angle you look at it.

The light emitted is consistent and well perceived by the human eyes.

You will find other kinds of labels such as the illuminated LED dimmer switch, push button LED lights, push button LED switch, push button LED light switches, or LED push button light switch.

3. What are the parts and sections comprising the illuminated push button switches?

The illuminated push button switches are composed of several parts that each play an important role in their appearance and operation.

The commonly known parts are the following:

• Actuator

1. Usually called the button and sometimes called as the actuator in a more technical term.
2. This is the part of the switch that you press to activate the illuminated push button switch.

• Illumination

Also referred to as the LED or LED chip that is responsible for lighting the illuminated LED push button switch.

• Body

Otherwise called the enclosure of the illuminated push button switch. This houses the electrical parts of the switch in one unit.

• Pins

Also called terminals where the wirings are connected via soldering or clamping depending on its type.

• Mounting flange

This is the hex cut mounting nut that is fastened along the grooves of the illuminated push button switch at the back of the panel.

• O-Ring

Also known as the rubber seal that is positioned below the actuator to seal the mounting of the illuminated push button switch.

• Grooves

These lines are the narrow cuts or depressions along the body of the switch where you insert the mounting flange.

These parts are known since they are the only ones visible to us; there are also other parts of the illuminated push button switch that makes up the inside of the switch.

These include the stationary and movable contacts, metal spring, and for some types, a module unit, ceramic plate, and other important parts.

5. What are the varieties of classifications of the illuminated push button switch?

The illuminated push button switch has a long list of classification varieties that you can choose from as the classifications show on the following tables:

Aside from the basic diameter sizes, actuator, and terminal types, there are also classifications when it comes to the illumination style of the illuminated push button switch as shown in the table below:

You may also find different features of the illumination such as the following:

• Flashing:

Flashing is attention seeking indicator that does not require external electronics or additional wirings. Most flashing illuminated push button switches emit one light color, some types emit multiple colors and other more sophisticated types have a fade through a color sequence with the use of RGB color mixing.

• Bi-color:

Bi-color illuminated push button switches have two different LED emitters in one unit. There are two types of LED emitters:

1. One type has two dies connected to two leads opposite to each other and the current flow is in one direction and emits one color while the current that flows in the other direction produces the other color.
2. The other type has two dies connected to two leads separately and another lead for the common anode or cathode therefore they are controlled individually

The most common bi-color combinations are the following:

• Red and green
• Red and yellow
• Red and blue
• Red and white
• Green and blue
• Green and yellow
• Green and white
• Blue and yellow
• Blue and white
• Yellow and white

RGB tri-color:

• Tri-color illuminated push button switch contains three colors which means it has three different LED emitters in one unit.
• The emitters are connected to separate leads and can be controlled individually.
• Typically, there’s a four lead arrangement with one anode or cathode and then another lead for the color but there are others that only have two leads, positive and negative, and integrated with an electronic controller.

RGB SMD LED:

• This consists of red, green, and blue LEDs which can be individually adjusted.
• This type capable of emitting a wide color gamut but does not produce pure wavelengths and modules can’t be optimized for color blending.

Decorative multicolor:

• This contains several emitters that release different colors produced by two lead wires and colors can be changed by varying the voltage supply.

Dual color backlit LED:

• Two-color options can be emitted by the backlit push button switch when it is turned off.

6. What illumination element types are available for the illuminated push button switch?

The majority of the illuminated push button switches nowadays use LED as their illumination element, however, you may find other types such that are using neon lamps or fluorescent illuminating elements.

Neon lamps are more suited for higher voltage applications such as 110 VAC to 240 VAC and sometimes for voltages more than 90 VDC.

While fluorescent types usually are suitable for lower AC or DC voltages.

In comparison, LED is by far the most practical and energy-efficient.

7. What is the voltage classification for the illuminated push button switch?

Just like other electrical switches, the Illuminate push button switches make or break the current flow in an electrical circuit.

When the electrical circuit is broken, an arc or spark phenomenon happens to the contacts.

The speed of breaking the circuit varies depending on whether the electricity is an AC current or alternating current or DC current or direct current.

AC current also has variable direction and magnitude and because it changes direction the voltage regularly reverses and generates “current zeros” a couple of times within a cycle.

The “current zeros” helps in quickly eradicating the arc when the circuit is broken.

DC current works a bit differently.

It flows steadily in one direction and because of this, it takes a while to completely eradicated the arcs.

In time, this damages the contacts, therefore, leading to overheating.

Therefore, choosing a 12v illuminated push button switch or 24 VDC is more suitable for applications with a lower supply of voltage such as a 12v battery.

You may find other types labeled as 12v illuminated switch, illuminated 12v switch, or 24 V DC illuminated.

While if you have UK-rated electricity, it is more suitable to select a 240VAC rated illuminated push button switch.

Other voltage options are 3.3V, 6V, 12V, 24V, 36V, 110V, and 220V.

8. What are the functions and default state classifications of the illuminated push button switch?

The illuminated push button switches are also classified according to their function and default state types.

These classifications are also necessary when you are choosing the right illuminated push button switch to ensure that its functions will match what you require for its application.

1. Illuminated push button momentary switch
   • In this function type, the actuator does spring back to its default state when you press and release it.
2. Illuminated latching push button switch
   • Unlike the illuminated momentary push button type, the illuminated latching push button switch maintains its position when you press it until you press it again.

While the default states of the switch are classified into two types which are:

1. Normally open illuminated push button switch
   • In this default state, the contacts are always open as their default state and when you press the actuator the contacts close therefore letting the electric current flow.
2. Normally closed illuminated push button switch
   • In this default state, the contacts are always closed as their default state and when you press the actuator, you break the connection of the contacts as well as the flow of the electric current.

When it comes to defining the types of switches in an electrical circuit, the following terms are used to differentiate the different extreme positions of the switch and the number of poles and throws they have.

Different types of illuminated push button switch in the electrical circuit

9. What is the brightness of the illuminated push buttons switch?

The brightness of the illuminated push button switches is also defined as “luminous intensity” and it varies from color to color.

In photometry, luminous intensity is defined as the measurement of the light power emitted in wavelengths by the light source which is in this case the light coming from the illuminated push button switch.

The human eye perceives light within a visible spectrum which is only a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which is the range of electromagnetic frequencies and their wavelengths and photon energies.

The table below shows different LED colors of the illuminated push button switch and its luminous intensity and forward voltage.

Illuminated push button switch with symbols

10. What does forward voltage mean in illuminated push button switches?

The term forward voltage refers to the voltage applies to the LED of an illuminated push button switch.

This voltage travels across the leads of the LED, from the anode to the cathode for it to turn on.

When flow is reversed, it is called the reverse voltage instead of forwarding voltage and therefore the LED will not light up.

Forward voltage also refers to the positive voltage that is supplied across the anode and cathode of the LED.

There are different voltage requirements for different kinds of LED illuminated push button switches.

Also, LED illuminated push button switches that are less bright tends to requires less voltage as well therefore this means that brighter LED illuminated push button switches require higher voltage.

For example, a typical voltage required for a less bright LED is 1.7 volts.

While for high brightness LED illuminated push button switch would require higher voltage which also varies based on the LED color like for example:

• Red – low current, 1.9 volts
• Orage and yellow – 2 volts
• Green – 2.1 volts
• White and blue – 3.4 volts to 3.6 volts

To ensure that the voltage is completely dropped across the LED; you can opt for a voltage higher than the forward voltage of the LED.

For example, you can use a 3 voltage supply for low voltage LEDs or use 4.5 volts for those with 3.4 forward voltage.

It is also recommended to add a resistor in the circuit to control the excess current flow and avoid the LED from burning out.

Typically there’s about 20mA current flowing through the LED.

Also, ensure that you consider the maximum current capacity of the LED illuminated push button switch and you avoid exceeding it.

LED forward voltage

11. How many years is the average service life of the illuminated push button switch?
