Loomia Single Backlit Button

The Loomia Single Backlit Button is a simple mechanical switch that comes with an LED inside. When you press the button, the circuit is completed, driving your pin high or low. Use the embedded LED to make a glowing power icon, logo, or whatever suits your fancy.

Loomia parts are designed to be easily soldered together, and work well with popular micro controllers like Arduino Nano and Teensy. The system revolves around Loomia's custom interconnect, which allows for a simple connection between buses. The interconnect can be soldered to headers for easy breadboarding. From fabric to wood, Loomia components can stick onto a range of materials, making your prototypes look clean and polished.

Note: There are a number of operating procedures to be aware of before using Loomia products. This includes directions to not wash or sew any of the parts. Make sure to check the Datasheet in the Documents tab for more information.

  • Bend Radius Limitation: 0.5in around button area
  • Thickness: Approx. 1mm at the button
  • Operating Voltage: 5V
  • Component Dimensions: 2in x 3in
  • Button Dimensions: 1in diameter circle
  • Press Durability: Up to 10,000 presses under 5lbf.
