3. How does it mechanism work?
It works starting from its three terminals, a common pin, and two more pins that connect to the common.
For example, the switch is connected to a red LED and a yellow LED where you can wire it to create one or two modes.
In one connection, the red LED is turned on and the yellow LED is off while another connection would have the yellow LED turned on while the red LED is off.
In the first connection, when the user presses the button the red LED is turned off and the yellow LED is lit.
While for the second connection, the one that’s turned off is the yellow LED and then the red LED is the one lit up.
Depending on how it was wired, it can serve as an on-off switch or it can also be connected to serve as a ready or standby mode.
