Pin 2 is where the accessory that the switch is going to turn on is connected.
2 position rocker switch wiring.
Let s assume the load you are controlling is a light.
Here are your electrical connections.
In one position the switch is open and no connection is made.
The other terminal is for the output.
Middle row left 12 power.
Spst toggle switch wiring.
By wiring a 2 way switch the circuit below shows the basic concept of electricity flow to the load.
Top row right white stern light and short jumper wire.
A two way switch or a single pole double throw spdt switch can be used as a selector to switch between two circuits or signal paths in devices ranging from electric guitars to car engines.
That is what we will be covering here.
Top row left no connection.
1 terminal is for the input.
This rocker switch body is meant to be paired an etched or printed snap in rocker switch cover for a complete switch unit.
Most rocker switches are of the single position single throw variety.
Below is the wiring schematic diagram for connecting a spst toggle switch.
You can see that a spst toggle switch only has 2 terminals.
Also relays can be used to switch higher draw accessories to reduce switch load and voltage drop.
For the led rocker switch pay careful attention to the position of your ground power and acc pins follow the diagram below it uses oznium s led round rocker switch with recommended mounting hole diameter of 3 4 and you should have no problems wiring a led rocker switch.
Led rocker switch wiring diagram.
Pin 1 is where the rocker switch receives the input power.
All actuators sold on this site will fit this switch.
This is a completed circuit.
We will now go over the wiring diagram of a spst toggle switch.
From the back this switch will have three rows of terminals with two terminals on each row.
The diagram below represents the schematic diagram for a spst rocker switch.
Pin 3 is where the switch is either connected to ground or left open.
The electricity flows from the hot wire black through the 2 way switch shown in off position and then to the light and returns through the neutral wire white.
