Title: Can Someone Help Label NC, NO and Common from this Photo?
Post by: lisowskikevin on March 23, 2015, 02:25:07 pm

Hey guys,

I ordered these buttons from Groovy Game Gear but the microswitches don't quite look like they do in other places I have seen online. The ones I have are the True Leaf Pro premium Leaf Switch from Groovy Game Gear.

Can someone tell me which is which ? Plus there only seems to be 2 prongs, I thought there was supposed to be a Normally Open, Normally Closed and a Common?

thanks for anyone's help.

only 2 prongs and leaf switch then just consider either post no or ground as they would be interchangeable.

Great I didn't realize that they were interchangeable. Also it makes sense to not have the NC prong included because it is never connected to anything, I've actually heard of people actually breaking it off to avoid confusion. Thanks so much for the quick reply.

Nobody has done that.  Ever.

It's possible to have normally connected leafs on a switch like that, but it takes more hardware.
