Frequently asked questions

Is the KCD4 switch compatible with Arduino?
Yes, it is compatible. Check the datasheet for power specifications.

Which pins to use to connect the switch?
Connect pins 1 and 2 to pin 2 (digital) of the Arduino. Connect pins 3, 4, 5, and 6 to the respective digital pins of the Arduino.

What to do if the switch does not work?
Check the connections and specifications in the datasheet. Ensure that the power supply is correct.

Can the KCD4 switch be used for devices with higher power?
No, use the switch only for devices with power below 15A and voltage below 250V.
