Help with switch

Post by jeffslot »

Hi guys,

I've got the below switch that I'd like to use on a project if I can.

I'm a bit confused on how to wire it up (and get the light working), can anyone help me out. Thanks.

I can't be sure, but I think it's as follows...

Though, the order wouldn't be correct.
+5 volts for the switch LED is assumed, probably incorrect.
+x is the voltage for the circuit.
When the switch is switched "ON", then both the +5 and +x are grounded, thus, the LED is on and the circuit powered.

*This information may be inaccurate.
