Tutorial: How to use Toggle Switch SS12D03 / 1P2T

The SS12D03 / 1P2T toggle switch is an essential component for anyone who wants to control the flow of energy in an electronic circuit. Ideal for Arduino, 3D printing, and drone projects, this switch offers simple and reliable manual control.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• Jumper cable
• Breadboard
• Led
• Resistor

Steps

1. Connect the toggle switch to the breadboard
2. Connect a led and a resistor in series to the breadboard
3. Connect the control pin of the switch to the input pin of the Arduino
4. Write and upload the Arduino sketch

Example code

const int ledPin = 13;
const int switchPin = 2;

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(switchPin, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
  if (digitalRead(switchPin) == HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  }
}

Mini project

Create a lighting system controlled by a toggle switch. When you move the lever of the switch, the led turns on or off.

Common mistakes

• Connect the wrong pin of the switch
• Do not verify the correct resistor for the led
• Do not check the correct flow of energy
• Do not test the circuit before uploading the code

Recommended accessories

• Arduino Uno
• Breadboard
• Jumper cable
• Various LEDs

Frequently asked questions

How can I check if the switch is working correctly?
Check the continuity between the switch contacts when the lever is in the ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ positions.
