2 Position Rocker Switch Wiring

This is a completed circuit.

2 position rocker switch wiring.

You can see that a spst toggle switch only has 2 terminals. Here are your electrical connections. Top row left no connection. The diagram below represents the schematic diagram for a spst rocker switch.

1 terminal is for the input. All actuators sold on this site will fit this switch. The other terminal is for the output. Below is the wiring schematic diagram for connecting a spst toggle switch.

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. Top row right white stern light and short jumper wire. Pin 2 is where the accessory that the switch is going to turn on is connected. Like all of our rocker switches this is a genuine carling contura v series rocker switch and it is ip68 sealed dustproof and waterproof.

In one position the switch is open and no connection is made. 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. Pin 1 is where the rocker switch receives the input power. When the switch is in the anchor position you want only the white stern light to be on.

Spst toggle switch wiring. From the back this switch will have three rows of terminals with two terminals on each row. 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. By wiring a 2 way switch the circuit below shows the basic concept of electricity flow to the load.

Using a common terminal and a selector to reroute the signal of a circuit the two way switch can be found in almost all electrical applications. Led rocker switch wiring diagram. We will now go over the wiring diagram of a spst toggle switch. Most rocker switches are of the single position single throw variety.

Let s assume the load you are controlling is a light. That is what we will be covering here. Also relays can be used to switch higher draw accessories to reduce switch load and voltage drop.
