  • Publication number: 20060209484
    Abstract: A pushbutton switch assembly to which an AC supply current or a DC supply current can be provided. The pushbutton switch assembly can include a pushbutton and a light-emitting diode that illuminates the pushbutton. The pushbutton switch assembly can also include a rectifier circuit that converts the AC supply current to a DC drive current and provides the DC drive current to the light-emitting diode. In some embodiments, the rectifier circuit can provide a DC drive current to the light-emitting diode regardless of a polarity of the DC supply current.
