I'm checking what power switch I would use for my next project (maybe M3 + o11). I found stainless steel Bulgin pushbutton switches. They are very nice and some of them event include leds.
Reference:
16mm Switches
Question #1: OK that's a dummy one for most but I want to be certain: what's the difference from momentary type vs latching type switch? Could be with the momentary type you must keep your finger on the switch to keep it on?
Question #2: Some are built with illuminated ring and have led terminals. The specs don't tell anything about voltage and current requirements. Is the buit-in led include a current limiting resistor should be current limited by an external circuit? I suppose I may connect it to LED connector the o11. Right?
