In Reply to: Need help with my wiring microswitches.. posted by Zwooky on 10, 2001 at 1:10 PM:
There should be one contact that says "N.O." and one that says "N.C." you want to connect to N.O. N.O. means normally open and N.C. means normally closed. Closed means that you are closing the circuit. For example, when you turn on a lightswitch your are closing the circuit. When the light is on, the circuit is closed. However the microswitches are momentary which means you have to hold it down. An example of a momentary switch is a button on your keyboard. You have to hold it down in order for it to keep typing the letter. Hope this helps.
