Not entirely sure what you mean, the power switch has 2 connections, in line with the "live" AC input, in series with the internal fuse.

 

Looking into the power connector on the back of the STE LEFT pin is live, RIGHT pin is neutral, Centre/Top is earth.

Thank you. I will explain a bit more. So according to the switch I have here. What is the input and output pins?

This switch has 2 contacts that are insulated from each-other.

Both "switch-decks" are separated by extra insulation. That's the black plastic that's visable vertically between the pins.

There is not input or output.

Looking at your picture, the two pins on either side of the "bridge" in the middle will be connected or not, depending on the position of the switch.

So a connection will be between the pins vertically, on either side of the bridge.

 

Or in other words, connect the power input to 2 horizontally placed pins.

Connect the wires to the power supply to the other pins.

 

Normally, an Ohm-meter will tell you just fine.

And you could test with a small battery and a light-bulb, or motor.

So low voltage and only 2 pins = half the switch. That way it cannot go wrong.

 

And now for the disclaimer: If still in doubt, ask for help. But to someone who's physically available. :-)
