On-Off switch question
« on: December 30, 2008, 05:46:45 PM »
I recently took apart an old electronic spinning top and found an On-off switch with four pins.  I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to use it?





Thanks.

well you connect some wires to it. then when you move the slider, it either connects those wires or disconnects them
