Wiring Setup for BLUE Led 22mm 12V stainless Steel Switch Momentary Push Button

[James Hughes]

Hello,

I am building a new computer case made out of Galvanise sheet and recently brought Angel Eye BLUE Led 22mm 12V stainless Steel Switch Momentary Push Button from ebay. The seller gave me the wiring diagram which I have very limited understanding to what wire do I have to solder to...

Here is the attached images so I can show what I mean

Can anyone in the community point me which PC power switch wires do I have to solder on the pin, according to the diagram?

Help is much appreciate and when I complete the computer case, I will post it here

It shows two ways of wiring it:

No - Normally open (means whatever is receiving power from the switch normally receives no power)

Nc - Normally closed (switch normally sends power)

Sound like you probably want to use it as NO

So, from what it says you will connect your 2 wires to pins 3 and 4, which pin to which wire doesn't matter, just use pins 3 and 4. Then, the two pins that are perpendicular to the majority of the pins are the two you use to supply power to the switches led, again which wire to which pin doesn't matter. 12v+ to one side, 12 - to the other.

Also, the small diagrams, little hard to see, but that shows how you can wire it so the led stays on regardless of the switch being on or off. Or you can wire it where the led comes on with the switch being off and goes off with the switch off.

***update***

Don't know why the little diagrams didn't load till I refresh the page a few times. It does show power on one side and load on the other in the diagrams. Power is the supply voltage, load is the thing receiving power. If you are using it to power on pc you will need to wire it to jumper to the power switch pins on the motherboard.

Thank you for replying to my question. From my little understanding of what connection to connect the wire to the right pin, I have created a mock up illustration of where the wire connect to.. Could you please let me know if this illustration is right off the bat or would give my pc a heart attack? If so, point me to which wire should connect to which pin

Cheers

Not quite. The HDD LED should be to your motherboard, so it blinks with HDD activity. Reset switch would have to be a separate button. Do you have a case with those wires, is that where you are getting those from? Normally they would all land to the motherbaord and you would use the reset switch, power switch and hdd and power led all built into the case.

If you are adding the new switch you would have it on the other end of those wires. The labeled sides would go to the motherboard and the other ends would be connected to the switch. You could control the power led with the circuit of the switch or from the motherboard if the same voltage.

I do think motherboard led is 3-5v volts though, so if the switch led is 12v should control it with the switch.
