Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns
Why does this switch have 5 pins instead of 2 or 3? The 5-pin configuration is essential for polarity reversal. Automotive window motors require the positive and negative leads to swap roles to change the direction of the motor (moving the window up vs. down); the 5 pins allow the switch to perform this complex wiring task internally.
Is this switch "Momentary" or "Latching"? This is a momentary switch. For safety and precision, the window will only move while you are actively pressing the rocker. Once you release the button, it snaps back to the center "neutral" position, and the window stops immediately.
Can I use this for non-automotive projects? Yes, as long as the voltage and current requirements match. While designed for 12V vehicle systems, it can be used for any project requiring a momentary DPDT-style polarity reversal, such as small robotics or motorized DIY projects.
