Wiring Diagram:

For a typical 3-pin ON-OFF-ON rocker switch:

• Pin 1: Common terminal (connects to the power source)
• Pin 2: Normally open (NO) terminal for the first ON position
• Pin 3: Normally open (NO) terminal for the second ON position

Wiring Example:

• Connect Pin 1 to the positive power supply.
• Connect Pin 2 to the first device or circuit.
• Connect Pin 3 to the second device or circuit.

Safety Considerations:

• Ensure the switch’s voltage and current ratings match the application requirements.
• Properly insulate connections to prevent short circuits.
• Avoid exposing the switch to moisture unless it is rated as waterproof.

This switch is a versatile component suitable for a wide range of applications where a reliable and easy-to-use control mechanism is needed.
