When wiring AC mains power, it is significantly safer to use a DPST switch to disconnect both the Live and Neutral wires simultaneously, guaranteeing the internal circuitry is completely isolated from the wall power when the switch is OFF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I wire this 4-pin switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Typically, the input power lines (Live and Neutral) connect to the two pins on one side of the switch, and the output lines (going to your device) connect to the two pins on the opposite side. Always use a multimeter to verify continuity before applying live power to ensure you have not cross-wired the phases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are these switches illuminated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No. The RS-6-5-03 and RS-6-5-04 models feature solid, non-illuminated nylon knobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × Elcom RS-6 Series Rocker Switch (Color as selected)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TOMSON ELECTRONICS","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":49519638905070,"sku":"SWT-03669","price":45.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":49519638872302,"sku":"SWT-03670","price":40.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2132\/9029\/files\/RS-6_-5-04_DPST_6A_250V_4PIN_R_ELCOM.jpg?v=1788199906","url":"https:\/\/www.tomsonelectronics.com\/products\/elcom-rs-6-series-rocker-switch-6a-dpst-4-pin","provider":"Tomson Electronics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
