Mitsumi KAM LED is a variant of the standard KAM switch which has an LED installed in the switch housing.

Characteristics

This switch typically has a white slider and a black top and bottom housing. Unlike standard KAM, the top housing for this switch has a hole to accommodate an LED and the bottom hosing has a slot for a latching arm, although in LED switches this arm is not present. Because of the LED and the latching arm slot, the bottom housing can only fit a single contact module which is positioned on the opposite side of the slider from the LED.
