Detailed Product Description:

For robust and reliable power management, the 3-Pin SPDT Rocker Switch is a go-to component for a wide range of electronic and electrical projects. This versatile switch, often used as a simple ON/OFF toggle switch, is a cornerstone of control panels in appliances, automotive systems, and DIY projects. Its three-pin configuration—comprising a common pin, a normally open (NO) pin, and a normally closed (NC) pin—offers maximum flexibility. While it can be wired for more complex tasks like switching between two loads, its most common use is to make or break a circuit by simply connecting the power source to the common pin and the load to either the NO or NC pin.

This panel-mount switch is engineered to be a durable and long-lasting solution. It features a convenient snap-in design that allows for quick, tool-free installation into a pre-cut panel hole, providing a clean and professional look. The switch is built to handle significant electrical loads, with common ratings of 6A at 250VAC and full compatibility with low-voltage 12V DC applications. This dual-voltage capability makes it perfect for everything from controlling power to a desktop fan to managing lighting in a car or boat.

Whether you're building a control box for your robotics project, replacing a broken switch on a household appliance, or creating a custom power supply for a DIY electronics setup, this 3-pin toggle switch provides the perfect combination of straightforward functionality, high electrical ratings, and a durable, latching mechanism. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance, giving you complete and intuitive control over your circuits.

The SPDT ON/OFF 3-Pin Rocker Switch is a versatile power toggle switch that enables switching between two different loads or outputs from a single input. With a 3-pin configuration (Common, NO, NC), it allows for ON-ON, ON-OFF, or ON-(ON) type control depending on wiring.

Commonly used in Arduino projects, control panels, automotive dashboards, and appliance control, this rocker switch offers a durable design, intuitive rocker action, and long life cycle. It is ideal for manual power control in circuits that require toggle or dual-output functionality.

How to Use:

Pinout:

• Pin 1 (Common) – Connect to power/input

• Pin 2 (Normally Open – NO) – Connect to Load 1

• Pin 3 (Normally Closed – NC) – Optional Load 2 or leave open

Wiring Options:

• For ON/OFF, use only Common + NO

• For ON/ON, use Common + NO + NC

• For ON/(ON) (momentary), use in spring-loaded switches

Steps:

1. Cut panel hole and mount the switch using snap-fit or screws

2. Connect wires according to desired control (ON/OFF or toggle)

3. Test functionality and insulate terminals if needed
