External ATX Power Switch

This 1.8 metre push button connects to an ATX motherboard header and lets you power the system on and off from outside the case. The cable reaches 70.8 inches, so the switch can be placed on a desk or wall-mounted where the chassis power button is hard to reach. It is a simple mechanical control for desktop PCs that need remote actuation.

Desktop and embedded builders

The switch suits anyone assembling a custom enclosure, a kiosk cabinet or a test bench where the front-panel header is inaccessible. It is not for laptops, servers with proprietary front-panel connectors or builds that require a momentary switch with LED feedback. Buyers who need a reset button or a lighted indicator should look at a different part.

5 volt ATX header compatibility

The device draws 0.01 amps at 5 volts and is rated IP65, so it tolerates dust and water jets in industrial environments. Operating range spans 0 to 100 degrees Celsius, and the plastic housing measures 16.891 by 12.5984 by 2.2098 centimetres. Confirm that your motherboard uses a standard ATX power-header pinout before ordering.

Questions about this item

What motherboard header does the 1.8M ATX external switch connect to?

The switch connects to the standard ATX front-panel power header on the motherboard.

Can the IP65-rated button remain mounted on a chassis that sits in a dusty workshop?

Yes, the IP65 rating means the housing resists dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.

How do I confirm the external power button is wired correctly after installation?

Press the button once; the system should start, and a second press initiates a soft shutdown.
