ClassicGMR Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 OK so I am going to use the 2600 RESET switch as a momentary contact switch. Question is what 2 posts do I want to solder the wire through? If the switch is resting in the UP position: Do I solder through 5 and 6? Is this the only connection where contact will be made when I push it down or are there more contact points? Can I safely ignore the other 4 posts or should I use any of them for any reason? Just making sure I am using the correct posts so I don't fry anything. I have not disassembled a switch and the pictures I can find are not making this any clearer to me.

zylon Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 3 to 5 and 4 to 6 make contact when switch pressed down. Only need one side of switch, depending on application. These switches contact vertically instead of horizontal. You can actually use it for 2 functions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thank you Zylon. I would have soldered the switch wrong and gotten no results out of it. Appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
