I wouldn't have been able to work out my switch without your help 👍 My switch came without any indication of what pin was what except for the gold plated one (com) the diagram on the package said it had power and acc up the top and + And - LED down below. I knew there had to be a jumper somewhere in it ( we were trying to get a water pump for campervan sink to work). Watching what you did gave me enough insight to understand what was going on and got it wired correctly in minutes! Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It sure makes it much clearer on how to wire these switches up. All worked out perfectly.

Great video, so to summarize negative load and negative switch both twisted together and run to battery negative. Battery positive to one of the switch commons, the other switch common plus load postive and switch positive all twisted together.

@@passiontechklm ok thanks for the response. This vid really helped me because I did it wrong and put the positive and negative from the switch to the battery, commons to load and it worked but the light was sooo dim. Who would assume a common went to the battery? I guess also if you wanted your switch halo to be on all the time you could run the postive switch to the battery instead.

Excellent explanation! Much appreciated. One question (maybe you can help). I need a latching button that works like this one in the video (the light turns on when the button is pressed and latches, turns off when released from latching) BUT I need to have separate voltages, the actual load to run the appliance is 9-12v AND the light of the button 1-3v. Do you know if there is a button that has separate lanes/pins for the load and the light? this is to avoid bridging/sharing the load to be able to turn on the led as you do in the video. I need to feed the lights of the buttons with batteries, and have higher DC from a power supply for the actual connections, so the button lights turn on from the battery power when pressed, and the appliances run from the power supply. I hope it's clear. Thanks.
@passiontechklm8 ай бұрын
If your button light is 1-3 V than you just add 1k resistor to led pin and use 12V from the load so you don't need to have separate power supply.its safe

Why does the switch not stay on when you turn it on?
@passiontechklm8 ай бұрын
The switch not staying turn because of it is momentary switch,if you use latching switch than will keep turning on.Basically Their are Two types of switches one is latching and another one is momentary.

So you cannot turn OFF the device with a momentary switch then..? Only turn it ON? Or..? 😅

I was wondering, I have a momentary switch without an LED, can I connect an external LED to it, how would you go about it? Thanks
@peddersoldchap5 ай бұрын
Hi. If I connect a 12V switch to a 9V PSU, will the switch still light up? I am concerned that 9V won't be enough to turn on the LED inside the switch.
@passiontechklm4 ай бұрын
Still can light up, just a little bit dimmer only.

No need resistor in that case...
