PB86 Step Switch with LED

The PB86 Step Switch with LED is a hinged momentary pushbutton switch that brings a distinctive tactile, clicky feel reminiscent of the iconic step-sequencer buttons found on classic drum machines and synthesizers. Designed for panel and enclosure mounting with a 16mm form factor, this switch is a favourite among synth builders, audio equipment makers, and electronics hobbyists looking to add a satisfying tactile interface to their projects. Each button features a built-in red LED, making it perfect for indicating power status, active states, or providing instant visual feedback whenever the switch is pressed.

Internally, the switch operates as a momentary SPDT type with four legs for solid mechanical stability once mounted. Two of the four pins act as the common connection, naturally switching between the remaining pins as the button is actuated. Note that this switch is not breadboard or perfboard friendly, so wiring or a breakout PCB is recommended for prototyping. Available in Black and Red housing variants, it suits a wide range of creative and functional builds, from custom MIDI controllers and effects pedals to control panels and DIY audio gear. Its rugged construction and reliable switching action make it a dependable choice for makers who want both style and performance in their builds.
