Editing Omron B3G-S series (section)

==Gallery==
===First generation===
Research suggests that the original B3G-S design had a "flat" slider. A functional LED slot appears to have always been present.

===Second generation===
Part numbers of the form B3G-Snnn were superseded with B3G-SnnnN. It remains unclear whether the change in slider design corresponds to the change in part numbers. Another change that occurred at some stage was the introduction of a dedicated non-LED base, leaving a blind LED hole; later switches removed the redundant LED hole from the lid entirely. The blind LED hole can be recognised by the lack of a clip to retain the LED, and a thick shell wall around the hole.
