  • Component Overview
  • The Rocker Switch 6A 250V SPDT 4 PIN Red LED is a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) rocker switch with a built-in red LED indicator. It is designed for high-reliability applications, supporting up to 6A of current at 250V. The switch has four pins, which are explained in detail below.
  • Pin Explanation and Connection Guide
  • Here is a point-by-point explanation of each pin and how to connect them:
  • Pin 1: Input (I)
  • Function: Connects to the power source (e.g., battery or power supply)
  • Description: This pin is the input side of the switch, where the power source is connected.
  • Connection: Connect the positive terminal of the power source (e.g., +VCC) to this pin.
  • Pin 2: Common (C)
  • Function: Connects to the load (e.g., LED, relay, or other device)
  • Description: This pin is the common terminal of the switch, which connects to the load when the switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Connection: Connect the positive terminal of the load (e.g., an LED) to this pin.
  • Pin 3: Normally Open (NO)
  • Function: Connects to the second load (e.g., another LED or relay)
  • Description: This pin is the normally open terminal of the switch, which connects to the second load when the switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Connection: Connect the positive terminal of the second load (e.g., another LED) to this pin.
  • Pin 4: LED Cathode (K)
  • Function: Connects to the negative terminal of the power source (e.g., ground)
  • Description: This pin is the cathode (negative terminal) of the built-in red LED indicator.
  • Connection: Connect the negative terminal of the power source (e.g., GND) to this pin.

Code Examples
### Example 1: Simple On/Off Control with Arduino
In this example, we will use the Rocker Switch to control an LED strip connected to an Arduino board.
```c
const int ledPin = 13;  // LED strip connected to digital pin 13
const int switchPin = 2; // Rocker Switch connected to digital pin 2
void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(switchPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
  int switchState = digitalRead(switchPin);
  if (switchState == HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn on LED strip when switch is ON
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn off LED strip when switch is OFF
  }
}
```
### Example 2: Controlling a Relay Module with Raspberry Pi
In this example, we will use the Rocker Switch to control a relay module connected to a Raspberry Pi.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
switchPin = 17  # Rocker Switch connected to GPIO 17
relayPin = 23  # Relay module connected to GPIO 23
GPIO.setup(switchPin, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
GPIO.setup(relayPin, GPIO.OUT)
while True:
    switchState = GPIO.input(switchPin)
    if switchState == GPIO.HIGH:
        GPIO.output(relayPin, GPIO.HIGH)  # Turn on relay when switch is ON
    else:
        GPIO.output(relayPin, GPIO.LOW)  # Turn off relay when switch is OFF
```
Note: In both examples, ensure that the Rocker Switch is properly connected to the microcontroller board and that the LED indicator is powered separately.
Precautions and Considerations
Ensure the switch is used within its rated electrical specifications to avoid damage or failure.
 Use a suitable power supply for the LED indicator to avoid overheating or damage.
 Follow proper safety precautions when working with electricity and electronic components.
