Pin Configuration

6 A 250V 3-pin SPDT ON-OFF Rocker Switch (JL MRS 102 BK) Documentation
Pinout Explanation:
The 6 A 250V 3-pin SPDT ON-OFF Rocker Switch (JL MRS 102 BK) has three pins, labeled as follows:
Pin 1: COM (Common)
Function: This pin serves as the common connection point for the switch.
Connection: Connect the COM pin to the power source or the circuit you want to control.
Pin 2: NC (Normally Closed)
Function: This pin is connected to the COM pin when the switch is in the OFF position.
Connection: Connect the NC pin to the circuit or device that you want to turn off when the switch is in the OFF position.
Pin 3: NO (Normally Open)
Function: This pin is connected to the COM pin when the switch is in the ON position.
Connection: Connect the NO pin to the circuit or device that you want to turn on when the switch is in the ON position.
Connection Structure:
To properly connect the pins, follow the structure below:
Connect Pin 1 (COM) to the power source or the circuit you want to control.
Connect Pin 2 (NC) to the circuit or device that you want to turn off when the switch is in the OFF position.
Connect Pin 3 (NO) to the circuit or device that you want to turn on when the switch is in the ON position.
Circuit Example:
Suppose you want to control a simple LED circuit with a 5V power source using the 6 A 250V 3-pin SPDT ON-OFF Rocker Switch (JL MRS 102 BK). Here's a step-by-step connection guide:
Connect Pin 1 (COM) to the 5V power source.
Connect Pin 2 (NC) to the negative leg of the LED (through a resistor, if necessary).
Connect Pin 3 (NO) to the positive leg of the LED (through a resistor, if necessary).
When the switch is in the OFF position, the COM pin is connected to the NC pin, and the LED is off. When the switch is in the ON position, the COM pin is connected to the NO pin, and the LED is on.
Important Notes:
Make sure to follow the rated current and voltage specifications of the switch (6 A, 250V) to avoid overheating or damage.
Ensure proper isolation and insulation of the connections to prevent electrical shock or short circuits.
Refer to the datasheet and manufacturer's guidelines for specific application notes and recommendations.

Code Examples

### Example 1: Basic ON/OFF Control using Arduino

In this example, we'll use the JL MRS 102 BK switch to control an LED using an Arduino board.

```c++
const int switchPin = 2;  // Connect Pin 1 (COM) of the switch to digital pin 2 on the Arduino
const int ledPin = 13;   // Connect Pin 3 (NO) of the switch to digital pin 13 on the Arduino

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

void loop() {
  bool switchState = digitalRead(switchPin);
  if (switchState == HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn the LED on when the switch is in the ON position
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn the LED off when the switch is in the OFF position
  }
  delay(50);
}
```

### Example 2: Controlling a DC Motor using Raspberry Pi and Python

In this example, we'll use the JL MRS 102 BK switch to control a DC motor using a Raspberry Pi and Python.

```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Set up switch pin as input
switch_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(switch_pin, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

# Set up motor pin as output
motor_pin = 23
GPIO.setup(motor_pin, GPIO.OUT)

try:
    while True:
        switch_state = GPIO.input(switch_pin)
        if switch_state:
            GPIO.output(motor_pin, GPIO.HIGH)  # Turn the motor on when the switch is in the ON position
        else:
            GPIO.output(motor_pin, GPIO.LOW)  # Turn the motor off when the switch is in the OFF position
        time.sleep(0.1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    GPIO.cleanup()
```

Important Notes

When using the switch with high-voltage or high-current devices, ensure proper safety precautions are taken to avoid electrical shock or damage to the component.
 The switch should be installed in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials and moisture.
 Follow the manufacturer's instructions for wiring and installation to ensure correct operation and to prevent damage to the switch or connected devices.
