External Power Button with LED

This external power button extends the motherboard power switch to a convenient external location for easy on/off control. It connects directly to the standard POWER SW pins without requiring drivers or an additional power supply. The compact design suits DIY PC builds, open-frame test benches, case modifications, and industrial computers. It is ideal for technicians and enthusiasts seeking accessible power management.

Standard POWER SW Pin Interface

The cable matches the standard motherboard POWER SW pin definition for direct plug-in installation. It provides power switch control only and is not compatible with a separate reset function. No extra power source or software configuration is needed to operate the switch. Installation is limited to systems with accessible front-panel header pins matching this layout.

Durable Push Button for Frequent Use

The sensitive push button delivers reliable triggering and maintains stable performance after long-term repeated pressing. A built-in LED indicator displays real-time power status so you can verify the host running state at a glance. The compact form factor allows flexible mounting on desktops, test benches, or equipment panels. It comfortably handles daily power cycling for testing, maintenance, or modified chassis setups.

Questions about this item

Does the cable reach far enough to mount the button on my desk instead of the case front?

The lead is long enough for typical desktop or test-bench placement, letting you fix the button on a flat surface up to about half a metre from the motherboard header.

How does the LED tell me the PC is actually running and not just plugged in?

The indicator lights only when the motherboard receives the power-on signal, so it stays dark in standby and glows steadily once the system is up.

Will the two-pin connector fit every consumer motherboard power-switch header?

Yes, it follows the standard front-panel POWER SW pin-out used on virtually all ATX, micro-ATX and mini-ITX boards.
