{{stub}} {{infobox dswitch | image name = SMK J-M0404 illuminated.jpg | manufacturer = [[SMK]] | product code = | family = [[SMK J-M0404 series]]? | switch type = Momentary illuminated | contact mechanism = [[Metal leaf]] | switch mount = [[Plate mount]] }} '''SMK J-M0404 illuminated''' is an incandescent illuminated switch associated with, but not proven to be part of [[SMK J-M0404 series]]. ==Description== The switch has a small incandescent lamp at the front centre, whose terminals press into tapered recesses into the top of the external light terminals. The slider has a crescent-shaped cut-out to make room for the lamp; as a result, the keystem's front vane is absent. Custom keycaps are required that leave space for the lamp. Without a specialist tool, the lamp can only be removed by first opening the switch and removing the grip terminals that hold it. Moreover, reinsertion requires inserting the lamp first and then holding it tightly while inserting the grip terminals, otherwise the lamp's own legs will simply buckle. A tool is likely to exist to allow for lamp removal without removing the switch. The switch has the diamond "SMK" logo embossed on the bottom. The switch is approximately the same weight as a standard switch. ==Keyboards== None to date. ==Gallery== The following switches were sourced from Taobao, of unknown part number or origin. The leg for the movable contact is slightly bent. Two types of lamps were supplied: red and brown. Red lamps have a short, arch-shaped simple filament. The brown lamps have a tall filament that reaches to the top of the lamp, and there is some kind of complex shape at the apex. <gallery widths=250 heights=187> File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- lamp sheath colours.jpg | Different lamp types File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- keycap mount.jpg | Special keycap mount File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- base.jpg | Base with SMK branding and additional terminals for the lamp File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- partially opened.jpg | Partially opened; the movable contact leg is bent File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- opened.jpg | Opened File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- lamp terminal removal.jpg | Removal of lamp socket terminal File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- lamp removal.jpg | Lamp removal File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- lamp removed.jpg | Lamp and its socket terminals removed File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- custom shell and slider.jpg | Custom shell for the lamp, and corresponding custom slider File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- disassembled, top views.jpg | Disassembled, top views File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- disassembled, bottom views.jpg | Disassembled, bottom views </gallery> ===Keycap=== The supplied keycaps are three-piece, with a base, a cover and a light diffuser. Some of the keycaps were provided with a legend ("RESET") printed onto a piece of transparent plastic. These keycaps also fit standard J-M0404 switches. <gallery widths=250 heights=187> File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- keycap, opened.jpg | Separate light diffuser panel File:SMK J-M0404 illuminated -- keycap, disassembled.jpg | Fully disassembled </gallery> [[Category:SMK switches]] [[Category:Alternate action switches]] [[Category:Metal contact switches]] [[Category:List of all keyboard switches]]
