Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns �
� What is the difference between this and a 4-pin switch? This 2-pin switch acts as a simple bridge for one wire, typically the "hot" or positive line. Unlike a 4-pin (DPST) switch, it does not disconnect both lines at once, making it better suited for smaller, low-power applications where only a single line needs to be broken.
Do I need to solder these connections? You can, but the flat pins are specifically designed for standard quick-disconnect crimp terminals. This allows for a solder-less connection that is easier to maintain or replace in the future.
� Is this switch illuminated? No. This is a non-illuminated model, which means it does not require a neutral wire connection to power an internal lamp. Its status is indicated solely by the physical position of the rocker and the printed I/O symbols.
