DAIERTEK 12V Latching Push Button Switch 16mm Blue LED — Metal Waterproof, 5‑Pack with Labels

DAIERTEK 12V latching push button switch is a 16mm metal, waterproof ON/OFF control with a blue LED, five-pin wiring, and self-locking action — sold as a 5-pack with labels and harnesses.

Built for panels, vehicles, boats and DIY control projects, this compact switch combines a durable anodized metal body with an illuminated indicator and a reliable maintained (self-locking) action. The switch uses a five-pin arrangement providing one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact for flexible wiring; it arrives pre-wired with a harness and 50 adhesive labels so you can mark functions quickly. Rated IP65, it’s designed to resist water spray and dust, and it fits standard 16mm (5/8 inch) panel cutouts.

How does the latching mechanism work for everyday use?

The DAIERTEK latching push button is maintained: press once to turn a circuit on and it stays on after you release, press again to turn it off. This is ideal for functions that require a stable state (lights, pumps, accessories) without holding the button down. The five-pin layout also lets you wire indicator LED and switching contacts separately.

• Maintained ON/OFF operation—press to latch, press again to unlatch.
• 1 NO and 1 NC contact for flexible control logic.
• Separate LED pin for illuminated status at 12V DC.

Is this switch safe for marine and outdoor installations?

Yes—DAIERTEK designed this switch with IP65 sealing and an aluminum anodized body to handle wet, dusty, or splash-prone environments. The housing repels moisture and the panel gasket helps prevent ingress at the mounting point. Still, avoid direct submersion; IP65 covers spraying water and particles, not continuous immersion.

• IP65 rating for splash and dust resistance.
• Aluminum anodized bezel for corrosion resistance in coastal settings.
• Panel gasket included for secure mounting in exposed locations.

What electrical specifications should I consider before installing?

The switch is optimized for 12V DC systems and includes a blue LED rated for 12V illumination. Contact ratings are suitable for many accessory circuits but check inrush currents of motors or pumps. If you plan to use the LED at higher voltages, add the recommended resistor to protect the diode.

• Operating voltage: 12V DC for LED illumination.
• Contact rating: 5A at 12V DC (confirm load requirements before use).
• For 120V LED use, connect a ~150 kΩ resistor in series with the LED pin.

How do I mount and label the switch on my panel?

Cut a 16mm (5/8 inch) diameter hole in your panel for a secure snap-in or threaded mount, then tighten the bezel nut for a flush finish. The pack includes 50 adhesive icons so you can quickly identify each switch’s function without custom printing. Wiring is straightforward with the pre-attached harness—match the LED and contact pins based on your schematic.

• Panel hole size: 16mm (5/8 inch) standard fit.
• Includes 50 adhesive labels/icons for quick identification.
• Pre-wired harness simplifies connection to LEDs and contacts.

Who is this for: This 5-pack of DAIERTEK latching push button switches suits hobbyists, electricians, marine installers, RV owners and small equipment builders who need a compact, illuminated, durable ON/OFF control. It’s especially useful when you want a reliable maintained switch with clear visual feedback for dashboards, accessory panels, lighting circuits or DIY control boxes.
