Wiring Guide & Connection Methods
5-Pin / 6-Pin LED Push Button Switch Wiring
An illuminated switch can include common (C), normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and LED positive and negative terminals. The actual terminal arrangement depends on the switch configuration. Verify the terminal diagram for the selected model before wiring.
1. Normal OFF, Synchronized LED — NO Connection
The device and LED are off by default. When the switch is pressed, the device turns on and the LED illuminates.
- Application: Start switches where illumination indicates active operation.
- State: Idle — LED off, device off; pressed — LED on, device on.
2. Normal ON, Synchronized LED — NC Connection
The device and LED are on by default. Pressing the button turns both off.
- Application: Stop control and circuit interruption interfaces.
- State: Idle — LED on, device on; pressed — LED off, device stopped.
3. Normal OFF, Constant LED — NO Connection
The LED remains illuminated as a backlight while the device is off. Pressing the switch turns the device on.
- Application: Panel buttons used in low-light environments.
- State: Idle — LED on, device off; pressed — LED on, device on.
4. Normal ON, Constant LED — NC Connection
The LED remains illuminated. The device is on by default and turns off when the button is pressed.
- Application: Monitoring interfaces and control systems requiring constant illumination.
- State: Idle — LED on, device on; pressed — LED on, device stopped.
| Mode | LED Behavior | Device at Idle |
|---|---|---|
| NO Sync | Illuminates when pressed | OFF |
| NC Sync | Turns off when pressed | ON |
| Constant | Always illuminated | Depends on circuit |
High Current Switch: Industry Knowledge
1. What Is a High Current Switch?
A high current switch is an electromechanical switching component designed to open or close an electrical circuit carrying a relatively high current. Switch selection depends on rated voltage, current, load characteristics, switching frequency, and installation conditions. The FILN FLM22-FJ-6-C is specified for 20A at 250V AC and 20A at 36V DC.
2. Latching vs. Momentary Switch
Choose the operating function according to the required circuit behavior.
