Rocker Switch 6A 250V SPDT 3 PIN Red LED

Overview

The Rocker Switch 6A 250V SPDT 3 PIN Red LED is a type of electrical switch designed for IoT applications that require a reliable and efficient way to control electrical circuits. This switch features a robust rocker design, high current rating, and a built-in red LED indicator, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Functionality

The Rocker Switch 6A 250V SPDT 3 PIN Red LED is a Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) switch, which means it has three terminals

one common terminal and two output terminals. The switch allows the user to toggle between two distinct electrical paths, making it ideal for applications that require the selection of one of two options.

When the rocker is pushed to one side, the common terminal is connected to one of the output terminals, allowing current to flow through the circuit. Conversely, when the rocker is pushed to the other side, the common terminal is connected to the second output terminal, switching the circuit to the alternative path.

Key Features

High Current Rating: The switch is designed to handle high currents up to 6A, making it suitable for applications that require reliable switching of heavier electrical loads.
High Voltage Rating: The switch has a voltage rating of 250V, allowing it to be used in applications that involve high-voltage electrical circuits.
Red LED Indicator: The built-in red LED indicator provides a visual representation of the switch's status, allowing users to easily determine the state of the circuit.
Rocker Design: The rocker design provides a tactile and intuitive interface for users, making it easy to operate the switch.
3-Pin Connection: The switch has a 3-pin connection, which simplifies installation and reduces the risk of wiring errors.
Compact Size: The switch has a compact design, making it ideal for use in applications where space is limited.
Reliability: The switch is built with high-quality materials and is designed to provide reliable performance over an extended period.

Pin Configuration

Rocker Switch 6A 250V SPDT 3 PIN Red LED Documentation
Overview
The Rocker Switch 6A 250V SPDT 3 PIN Red LED is a type of electrical switch that is commonly used in IoT and electrical applications. The switch has three pins and is rated for 6A at 250V, making it suitable for high-power applications. The SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration allows the switch to connect one input to one of two outputs. The switch also features a built-in red LED indicator that lights up when the switch is in the "ON" position.
Pin Configuration
The Rocker Switch 6A 250V SPDT 3 PIN Red LED has three pins, labeled as follows:
Pin 1: Common (COM) Pin
Function: Connects to the input power source
Description: The common pin is the central pin that connects to the input power source. When the switch is in the "ON" position, the common pin is connected to one of the two output pins.
Pin 2: Normally Open (NO) Pin
Function: Connects to the output load when the switch is in the "ON" position
Description: The normally open pin is one of the two output pins. When the switch is in the "ON" position, the common pin is connected to the normally open pin, allowing power to flow to the connected load.
Pin 3: Normally Closed (NC) Pin
Function: Connects to the output load when the switch is in the "OFF" position
Description: The normally closed pin is the other output pin. When the switch is in the "OFF" position, the common pin is connected to the normally closed pin, allowing power to flow to the connected load.
Connecting the Pins
To connect the pins of the Rocker Switch 6A 250V SPDT 3 PIN Red LED, follow these steps:
Step 1: Connect the Input Power Source
Connect the input power source (e.g., a power supply or a battery) to Pin 1 (COM). Make sure the voltage and current ratings of the power source do not exceed the switch's ratings (6A at 250V).
Step 2: Connect the Output Load
Connect the output load (e.g., a light bulb, a motor, or an IoT device) to Pin 2 (NO) if you want the load to turn on when the switch is in the "ON" position.
Connect the output load (e.g., a light bulb, a motor, or an IoT device) to Pin 3 (NC) if you want the load to turn on when the switch is in the "OFF" position.
Step 3: Verify the Switch Operation
Test the switch by toggling it between the "ON" and "OFF" positions. Verify that the LED indicator lights up when the switch is in the "ON" position and turns off when the switch is in the "OFF" position.
Verify that the output load turns on and off correctly based on the switch position.
Important Note
Make sure to follow proper safety precautions when working with electrical components, including using protective gear and ensuring the work area is well-ventilated.
Verify the ratings and specifications of the switch and the connected components to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Code Examples

### Example 1: Basic On-Off Control with LED Indicator (Arduino)

In this example, we'll use the Rocker Switch to control an LED and display its state using the built-in red LED indicator.
```c
const int ledPin = 9;  // Output pin for the external LED
const int switchPin = 2;  // Input pin for the Rocker Switch

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(switchPin, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
  if (digitalRead(switchPin) == HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  // Turn on the external LED
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // Turn off the external LED
  }
}
```
### Example 2: Home Automation with ESP32 (MicroPython)

In this example, we'll use the Rocker Switch to control a relay module connected to an ESP32 board, and display the switch state on an LCD screen.
```python
import machine
import utime

# Initialize the Rocker Switch pin as an input
switch_pin = machine.Pin(32, machine.Pin.IN)

# Initialize the relay module pin as an output
relay_pin = machine.Pin(33, machine.Pin.OUT)

# Initialize the LCD screen
lcd = machine.LCD(16, 2)  # 16x2 LCD screen

while True:
    if switch_pin.value() == 1:
        relay_pin.value(1)  # Turn on the relay
        lcd.print("Switch On ")
    else:
        relay_pin.value(0)  # Turn off the relay
        lcd.print("Switch Off")
    utime.sleep(0.5)  # Debounce time
```
### Example 3: Industrial Automation with Raspberry Pi (Python)

In this example, we'll use the Rocker Switch to control a motor connected to a Raspberry Pi, and display the switch state on a GUI using Tkinter.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import tkinter as tk

# Initialize the Rocker Switch pin as an input
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
switch_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(switch_pin, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

# Initialize the motor pin as an output
motor_pin = 23
GPIO.setup(motor_pin, GPIO.OUT)

# Create a GUI window
window = tk.Tk()
window.title("Motor Control")

def toggle_motor():
    if GPIO.input(switch_pin) == GPIO.HIGH:
        GPIO.output(motor_pin, GPIO.HIGH)  # Turn on the motor
        label.config(text="Motor On")
    else:
        GPIO.output(motor_pin, GPIO.LOW)  # Turn off the motor
        label.config(text="Motor Off")

label = tk.Label(window, text="Motor Off")
label.pack()

button = tk.Button(window, text="Toggle Motor", command=toggle_motor)
button.pack()

window.mainloop()
```
