ONPOW clarifies wiring for 5-pin push button switches

ONPOW Push Button Manufacture Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of electrical components, has published a guide to explain the correct wiring procedures for its 5-pin push button switches. The information is intended to help users understand the distinct functions of each pin, ensuring proper and safe installation of the devices.

The guide explains that the five pins on the switch are divided into two main functional groups: those for the LED indicator light and those for the switching function. Typically, there are two pins dedicated to the LED, marked with positive (+) and negative (-) indicators, which require a power supply for the light to operate.

The remaining three pins are related to the switching contacts. These usually include a "common pin" (C), a "normally open contact" (NO), and a "normally closed contact" (NC). Users typically select two of these pins – either C with NO to create a circuit that closes when the button is pressed, or C with NC for a circuit that opens when pressed.

ONPOW advises users to ensure their power supply is compatible with the LED indicator's specifications before commencing wiring. Understanding the specific role of each pin is presented as crucial for achieving the desired circuit configuration and operational outcome. Further technical details and support are available through the company's official channels.
