Title: EZ-Off LED Button Wiring
Post by: EvilGreenDevil on March 24, 2012, 04:55:26 pm
hey all, just got an order in from Paradise Arcade and they were nice enough to include a handful of their EZ Off pieces in the box for a delayed shipment. How are we suppose to use these? The description on their website doesn't answer it for me unless I'm missing something.
Here is how I have it wired.

ideally, I would like to have the push button always on and go off only for the short time that it is pressed. The buttons I have are 12v and powered by my psu.

Thoughts?

Take the ground off the loose end (what you have labelled as LED ground). That should work.

First you need to figure out if the lights you got were 5v or 12v. Then you power them accordingly. The easiest for me was using my computers power supply. I took an extra molex connector and spliced  the 12v line (yellow) and the black one next to it (ground) the other two wires on the molex connector are the other ground (black) and 5v line (red).

Connect the hot line to one of the led terminals and the ground to the other.
