I purchased some LED switches that I am going to add to an older computer case with a broken power button and I am not sure of the wiring of them
The switches have 5 terminals
I assume 3 for the switch and 2 for the LED but the diagram that was posted by the seller confuses me
The terminals are marked
+ NC NO C1 -
I want the power symbol switches LED to light up when the computer is on and the actual switch is to turn the computer on/off (Like the original switch that broke)
I have a second switch that I want the LED to light up for Hard drive activity and the switch is to be a reset switch (Which the case did not originally come with)
Here are the pictures of the switches
and here is the diagram that has me stuck
I am unsure what is meant by the bond strap but by testing the LED will only light up if I connect + to the positive power and - and C1 to the negative of the power supply
are these switches suitable for what I want to do or did I purchase the wrong ones for my purpose?
Thanks
