I just bought this IEC switched socket for my cab and could use some help wiring it up.





lilshawn:

how i would do it...

please note i live in canada where the standard electrical conductors is white/black/green

i believe:

brown=black (our hot or live)
blue=white (our neutral)
green=green (ground)

i have labeled the hot(live)/neutral/ground connections in case i'm incorrect.



jimmy2x2x:

Worked great! Thanks  :cheers:

jameth:

Brilliant, thanks for this - I've been searching the web like crazy for some info on wiring up a switched IEC socket, nothing seems to exist! Assuming that this is a DPST switch, am I right in thinking that for increased safety you can also feed the neutral wire through the other two switch tabs?



mgb:

Yeah,
as long as its a 2 pole, you can also switch the neutral.
