Some of the advantages of using C&K Components Illuminated Switches are: many actuator types to choose from, miniature illuminated tact switches, illuminated push buttons to High amp, panel mount illuminated rockers, and C&K has the right switches for new designs. The key features and benefits to C&K’s illuminated switches are, when using an illuminated switch the status of the switch can be seen from across the room. The LED terminals are independent of the switching mechanism which allows for more flexibility when designing. This feature allows the LED to be illuminated in the up or normally open position or have the LED light when the switch is depressed or in the normally closed position. The LED can also be wired to blink to draw attention from a user that it needs to be depressed in a specific application or situation.
