    Push to lock = Latching.

    The problem is those switches are rated at .1 A. The LEDs inside are rated at 20 mA. That means they can't be used as power switches anyway. Although they would be cool activator switches for AUX sounds etc.

    Edit> Let me rephrase that... As long as you are running 5V or less, those switches are fine. Anything higher and they will probably burn out. You can wire a resistor in series to make it work, but that will just cut down the current to the LED.

    Might be able to use it for the sound boards, as usually the switches are connected to a circuit for activation and do not require high current.
