19mm Latching Push Button Switch - Easy Installation, 12V Waterproof, Multiple Wiring Options for Automotive, Marine On/Off, Blue Power Button

I got this switch to use on a custom car build. I switched from a mechanical fuel pump to an electric pump. I wanted to be able to switch the pump off so it wouldn't constantly run anytime the key is in the "on" position...like if I'm just sitting and listening to the radio. This switch looks great and will fit right in with the style of my build. The thing I like is that you have options as to how you connect the switch. You can wire it in such a way as to have the LED light ring glow (or not) when the switch is either in the "normal" state or when it's depressed. Furthermore, you can elect to have the load (i.e.: my fuel pump) run when the switch is in either state. In my case I think I'll use it as a "disable" switch. In other words, when the switch is in its normal state, the LED with glow and the fuel pump will run. If I don't want the pump to run I'll just push the switch, which will latch and keep the fuel pump turned off. When it's time to start/run the car pushing the switch will return it to its normal state and the fuel pump will run. Disclosure: I haven't permanently installed the switch in my car yet, but I have tested it and it seems to function as intended.

Panel switches come in two broad categories: ones that look good, and ones that look cheap! These switches are the former, with a solid, clean aesthetic that is at home on a variety of projects. The stainless steel has a quality "machined" look, not a cheap "stamped" look, if you follow my meaning. Electrically there is nothing surprising here, you get basically every option: SPDT with both normally open and normally closed contacts, and the ability to wire the internal LED in all the useful configurations - always on, on when circuit is on, and vice versa. The switch is a low amperage panel switch suitable for controlling relays, or inherently low-amp applications (5A). The 20AWG leads are apx. 5in / 13cm long. The case will require a 19mm / .75in mounting hole. The switch has an IP65 intrusion rating, which is a degree of water resistance that surprises me in a latching switch of this kind. I'm ordering several more in two colors - the red will be great for controlling my experimental tracking base for a big dobsonian telescope without ruining night vision.

I have not seen these types of push bottom on-off switches with this feel before. I really like it a lot compared to rocker switches. Nothing protrudes or will accidentally get broken off.

I installed this switch in the old cigarette lighter hole to switch my fog lights on/off. I used a relay (not included) so as not to run and heavy amp load through this switch. Works great.

Really nice feeling button, the light blue is beautiful and easy to use/install. Highly recommend!
