Tutorial: How to use SK12D07 / 1P2T Toggle Switch

This toggle switch is ideal for controlling electronic devices in 5-pole circuits. Useful for manual control projects.

What you need

• SK12D07 / 1P2T Toggle Switch
• Arduino or compatible microcontroller
• Connector for 5 pins
• Resistor (optional)

Steps

1. 1. Check the specifications on the datasheet.
2. 2. Connect the 5-pole switch to the microcontroller.
3. 3. Connect pins 1 and 2 to the microcontroller.
4. 4. Connect pins 3 and 4 to the microcontroller.
5. 5. Connect pin 5 (GND) to the GND of the microcontroller.
6. 6. If necessary, add a resistor between pins 3 and 4.
7. 7. Load the Arduino code.
8. 8. Verify the operation.

Example code

void setup() {  pinMode(2, INPUT);  pinMode(3, INPUT);}void loop() {  int state1 = digitalRead(2);  int state2 = digitalRead(3);  if (state1 == HIGH && state2 == LOW) {    Serial.println("Posizione 1");  }  else if (state1 == LOW && state2 == HIGH) {    Serial.println("Posizione 2");  }}

Mini project

Create a simple light control with the toggle switch. Connect an LED and a resistor between pin 3 and 5 (VCC) and check the state with the code.

Common mistakes

• Do not follow the specifications on the datasheet.
