Generic industrial illuminated pushbutton.
Added 2019-03-24 05:42:04 +0000 UTCI've looked at a few of the industrial panel components from eBay, but I don't think I've had a look at a combined illuminated push button. It's quite a nice design.

It's probably fine for low current applications and prototyping, but not recommended for use in mission critical applications like high duty factory equipment.

We naughty boys did a prank at college and changed the legend to "SELF DESTRUCT" on one similar door release button... Our Physics tutor thought it was hillarious. "Happy" the caretaker freaked out.

2019-04-16 11:43:01 +0000 UTCI remember when I worked on panel stuff back in the late 70's they used 12V peanut bulbs for illumination that would last up to 6 weeks.

2019-03-25 03:52:47 +0000 UTCIt's a bit specialised. The only common type available to mortals like us are the red/green two pin indicator LEDs. You can use two LEDs next to each other though.

2019-03-25 03:47:01 +0000 UTCoh there is too, love this video though. I was always curious about those buttons on children's rides when i was a kid they were so sturdy and now i see why.
2019-03-25 03:39:42 +0000 UTCGreat stuff! I love seeing the Chinese versions of the real stuff I handle every day. Every once in a while a copy comes through and yeah they are fun to investigate and compare to their name-brand counterparts. :D

2019-03-24 23:47:33 +0000 UTCI really wish I had a use for one of these but I don't. That said, I may get one anyway. 🙂
2019-03-24 22:18:19 +0000 UTCChingineering being what it is, I'm surprised they even bother with discharge resistors.

2019-03-24 22:02:25 +0000 UTCis there a specific name for that style of LED package with the parallel LEDs arranged in opposing polarity?

2019-03-24 19:42:56 +0000 UTCI discovered that afterwards. It's a 1Mohm discharge resistor for the cap.

2019-03-24 16:56:22 +0000 UTCAnother Great video. Might I suggest that you draw a circle on your work table to indicate where the center of the camera is. This should help you to keep items "In Scene". That wasn't a problem in this video but just for future concern.
2019-03-24 14:30:03 +0000 UTCHey buuuuudy. There's a resistor under that capacitor. (8:55)
