Fire up your engines because these are the hot-rods of toggle switches! Equipped with an aerodynamic clear protective casing, and a diffused white LED at the tip of the switch, this Clear/White LED Toggle Switch is sure to add some flair (and flare!) to your project.

Often seen on control panels, now you can mimic a racing car, fighter jet, submarine status panel, factory controls, or anything really. They will control virtually any accessory you can throw at them, with a rated voltage of 12V max, the LED lights up at 3V so you can use it with lower voltages too. They say "20 A" on the side but we recommend 1-2A max.

Since there's an LED inside, but only 3 pin, they're a little different to wire than most toggle switches.

• The anode (positive side) of the LED is connected through a resistor to the pin with a 'headlamp' (=D) symbol on it
• The cathode (negative side) of the LED is connected to the pin with the ground symbol, which is the pin that is sticking out the side of the switch.
• The switch connects and disconnects the (+) pin and the 'headlamp' pin

That means you have a few options for wiring:

• If you want to use the switch to turn on/off something, you can use the toggle to connect and disconnect the two pins on the bottom
• If you want the LED to always be on, provide 3-12V between the ground and headlamp pin
• If you want the LED to be on only when the switch is connected, provide 3-12V on the (+) pin and connect ground to the ground pin.

The protective cover will automatically turn the switch off when flipped closed, but you can simply remove it if it isn't desired.
