Are you sure this isn’t backward? Most instructions / diagrams (and UA-cam videos) say to wire the copper wire the ground / negative. Also usually the I / on is at the top (O / off on the bottom ) for safety reasons.
@@kareno8634 the way I do it is, I aways have the switch oriented where the ON position is at the top and the OFF is (the same way most switches actually labeled “On” and “Off” are oriented - On is at the top). From there I know that the copper pin should have also been on the top. It’s maybe safest to get the manual / spec sheet from the manufacturer in case you have an oddball switch, but in my cases I found that the copper is supposed to be on the top.
This will only work for switches with a filament type light bulb. If the switch has an LED then you must use the copper coloured pin as negative/ground or the LED will not light.
Got me confused. You say copper pin is for the positive in but based on the switch wiring you are then running the load through the light. Diagram shows copper tab as -ve or neutral for operating the light and silver tabs are for input and load.
It works with me! Thank you very much. One last question please, Although it works but the red light in the switch didn't work, Do you know why? *NOTE: - I use an adpter like you, so the switch is conecting with 2A 12V - (15A 250V, 20A 125V) was written on the switch
Question . I have a 3 prung toggle switch with a led light . And I’m runing those diy relay box I made which u also get power from . Or Do I run power to the 12v ignition wire ? And the reload to my relay box?
Great video. Question...I'm new (self taught) to electrical engineering, repair + maintenance of ebikes. I installed a 4-light system on ebike - backlight, high beam (×1) and low beam (×2). I run everything through a 12v/24v power source (bank). Recently, I decided to add rocker switch (×2) to separate high be from low beam. I noticed that the LED indicators on the rockers will sometimes work, sometimes not but the lights will always work. I've looked for shorts, can't find anything. Power source is rated for 12v/24v. I register 28.5v on multimeter when everything is turned on. Could this be the cause why the rocker lights don't work? I've switched out rockers twice....same result. Hope u can help. Great video. /bklyn 👑
Aw come on, 0:50 Pin 3 ["Copper"] says "Neutral", You say "Positive". 1:07 What gives? i'm more confused. switch i have has NO Copper pin. 2 wires needed on one pin, but which one? Shared Positive or Accessory? Now, WHICH is Positive on switch, Really ?

It could be backward, however it works
@@wihaf right on. I guess it’s like reversing the polarity.
Hi! i noticed too. Try to figure out when switch has NO Brass \Copper pin. Is + pin, (IF end) on off side?

*Thank You!* I needed that info.
This is a great video. More clear and concise than some others.
Tnx a lot, very clear how you tell it and show it.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, very well explained, I got it working😃
Liar
Copper is negative so the switch can light up when it's on not off
bad wiring form. red is for positive and black for negative. you have it reversed
Very good. Another video showed a car battery for the power source and a DC battery for the load.

ok then..just don't follow the diagram.. just follow what I did.👍
i saw ur previous video list, actually i was thought u are indian, now i knows u from Indonesia, that's why say i was talk ur accent 😬😁
Finally, problem solved. I understand now. Thanks bro.
Fantastic explanation! Thank you!
Really great helpful for me this video keep it Up brother thank u so much appriciate much
But there are other videos where the copper one is the negative.. So which one is it??
Both of them are correct.. as long as the illuminate light on, it's fine
❤do you need any fuse to the load or switch 🤔
No fuse needed
So to understand this further. The switch closes the open ground(black) the device when switched on?
Thank you bro
But does all 3 pin witch can be connected the same ?
yes, it can be connected.
It works with me! Thank you very much.
One last question please, Although it works but the red light in the switch didn't work, Do you know why?
*NOTE:
- I use an adpter like you, so the switch is conecting with 2A 12V
- (15A 250V, 20A 125V) was written on the switch
Just reverse the wire, the cooper pin is for the negative one.
Can I just short the copper pin with the middle one?
Question . I have a 3 prung toggle switch with a led light . And I’m runing those diy relay box I made which u also get power from . Or Do I run power to the 12v ignition wire ? And the reload to my relay box?
Thank you .. I think all the other videos are for AC took me awhile to figure that out lol
Thank you very much very helpful!
will it work for forward and reverse switch
No.. that's different switch
thanks for your
Most welcome
That which switch
Kya aap mujhe iska reason bata sakte hain
thanks alot simple explained now i can wire my leds lights thanks
what about a 2 pin illuminated switch?
Thanks for the vid ! Appreciate it.
Very well explained.. got it 👍
Thnks bro ..
Do you have to have a ground on it
No need
Thank you. It helped me greatly.
Very nice video thanks for help
please reply ...AC switch like your switch (220v 15a ) , wire connect same way ?
Yes it can
Excellent!! Can i use the same wiring for AC240 Thanks
I think so. it's just the same. the difference is only in the led component of the switch which is specifically designed for certain voltage.
@@wihaf many thanks. I’ll let you know how i go👍👍
Bhai mic kharab hai kya
I thought the brass terminal was used for gnd. The center for power and the for output device
Thank you very much!!!
You're most welcome
where can use 3 pin switch,
please give example
This is 12v DC switch, you can use it for any devices using 12v. Yes my accent is strange coz I'm not a native speaker of English
@@wihaf ok :)
, dpdt switch middle.
where can use this type of switch?
How will i put this switch on positive line to be a usb charger switch ony motorcycle?
Aapka ye circuit lithium ion battery ki charging par work nahi kar rha h nahi battery charge ho rhi h
mine kcd 1 . its same or not
Is this okay for blender??
Yes. It's ok
Sir what about a 220V switch, will it work if I used it in my motorcycle??
Yes it will work, but the indicator light won't.
Great videos ! Thx
Excellent ....Thank you

Yes, it can only take 12volt, above the recommended voltage will cause the Illuminate light won't work
Great video!
Good video
well explained!
Your doing connector wrong, the copper is for negative and you can use either side or middle of input while the other for output
Wooow❤️👍❤️👍Wooow❤️👍❤️👍Wooow❤️👍❤️👍Wooow❤️👍❤️👍
Excellent sir

Your video was out of focus of the camera from beginning to end ! You should look into the matter?
This is wrong the brass is for the neg sir
Good video in general but you made a big mistake with the poles. That’s going to confuse people
The Red One can be Just Put one Wire diect on the device, 😅 and thsoe black are only doin the On off thing 😅
You always break the positive, dont you?
copper is ground not positive
i guess the switch can be used in either a high side or a low side cut-out...
Very misleading. Copper is -ve
thank for correction, it woks anyway 😉
Funny howneveryone else wires the brass tab to negative! btw that is NOT a wiring diagram
Word
saklar memutus arus negatif...
