Hi guys im in the final stages of the construction of my control panel and have a few questions regarding some buttons I have found on the internet. Here is a link to the site: http://www.happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/5400045x.htm My question is this can i use this button it looks like it has a standard cherry switch style connector and if this button can be used how would I illuminate it? Many thanks |

The white part that's holding the microswitch is also an LED holder. It uses a T3-1/4" wedge style. |

Thanks mate next question how do i give power to the led? |

Depends on the led you are using. Normally a 5v led (with the correct resistor) you can power using the led wiz or the red 5v wire from your PSU , but a 12v led you would need to use the power from a molex connector (splicing it if you do not have large amounts of molex connectors, like myself). |
