Illuminated 3PDT switches

[Robert]

Do the LED leads extend at least as far as the 3PDT lugs on these?

Yes they do. They are ever so slightly longer than the lugs, maybe a millimetre or two.

Perfect, thanks! I'll get one ordered to take some measurements.

I like where this might be going!

We're gonna need one of those boards for the 2-color LED rings also. With one (preferrably both) of the LEDs NOT wired to the switch.

Question as I see it is arriving soon?. Excuse my noobness but is the resistor built into the switch or will a resistor still have to be wired in somehow?. Know nothing about these little devils but I have a few on the way from Tayda.

The current limiting resistor is on the main effect PCB that this would be interfacing with.

If you were using this with a PCB that did NOT have an onboard resistor (eg: from another PCB designer), I suppose you could use a resistor instead of wire to connect the SW pad to their board.

Awesome?, really looking foward to these, one less hole to drill and super tidy to boot.
