    Connect your power source positive to one end of the terminal.
    Take another positive wire form the other end of the switch terminal connect it to your load. Make sure to ground your load.
    Load is powered ONLY when the switch is toggled to the ON position.

    I'm working on a project and could use some ideas. I'm designing a cabinet to house my radio equipment, which tends to generate a lot of heat. I'm planning to incorporate 3-4 12V fans into the design, each with its own switch. The goal is to provide ventilation without having all the fans turn on simultaneously every time the power supply is switched on. Any suggestions for how to set this up effectively?

      My shower rig works great!! Does stop & start sometimes though. quick tap on pump zip tied to battery box lid gets it going again. I don't think it is the pump but the cheap toggle switch from auto parts store. Gonna try rewire job & maybe a new waterproof switch! It is only12volts, but the switch is metal & I to change it or figure away to make a rubber cover plate for safety! THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS HELP ! STILL NOT GOT WATER HEATER UP & RUNNING, BIGGER JOB THAN I THOUGHT! JUST SAYING!!

  • @jaybee1158

    I understand the whole open and closed circuit. But why can’t you just hook the negative wires together and the positive together and put females on them and connect the negative and positive to each prong..?? I know the flow has to be consistent and a break in one wire to open and close the flow of power. I just was never told why u can’t do it the way I mentioned.. thxs for any logical knowledge you give appreciate it..

    • @AlwynNicholas
      @AlwynNicholas  Před 2 lety

      It will not work like that.

    • @ashley-GX3
      @ashley-GX3 Před rokem

      Cuz when you turn the switch on and off, you're breaking the connection of the live wire. So when you have the switch turned on, the 2 prongs become connected. If you put positive on one and negative on the other, it's just going to blow a fuse. Hope that makes sense.

  • @caffeinatedguy6226
    @caffeinatedguy6226 Před rokem

    Can I just loop the wire around the holes of the contact pin then cover it with electrical tape?

  • @bold58
    @bold58 Před 5 měsíci +1

    So this switch being 2 prong is basicaly a positive interrupt.

  • @garyenwards1608
    @garyenwards1608 Před 25 dny

    Do you need the inline fuse on the wire from the switch to the battery if you are also using a relay for a cars radiator fan? There is a fuse from the battery to the relay but the switch will have a wire to the relay and a wire to the battery. Thank you
