KCD6 Dual Round Switch / KCD6 I/O Switch / 6pins 2Positions 15A 250V Switch

Description

What it is

The KCD6 Double Round Switch is a double position switch, ideal for Arduino and electronic projects. It allows bidirectional control of circuits up to 15A 250V.

Features

• Type: Double Round Switch
• Pin Count: 6
• Positions: 2
• Maximum Current: 15A
• Maximum Voltage: 250V

What it is for

The KCD6 switch is perfect for controlling electronic devices. For example, you can use it to turn on/off an LED, a motor, or any other device with a power below 15A. It is compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers.

Tutorial: How to Use KCD6 Switch

The KCD6 Switch is a double position switch suitable for controlling electronic devices. Ideal for electric control projects.

What you need

• KCD6 Switch
• Arduino
• Power Cable
• 10kΩ Resistor

Steps

1. 1. Check the switch specifications (15A, 250V) on the datasheet.
2. 2. Prepare the circuit: connect pins 1 and 2 to the VCC (5V) of the Arduino.
3. 3. Connect pins 3 and 4 to a digital pin on the Arduino (e.g., D2).
4. 4. Connect pins 5 and 6 to GND.
5. 5. Connect a 10kΩ resistor between pin 4 and GND to protect the Arduino.
6. 6. Load the Arduino code.
7. 7. Test the switch: by moving its position, observe the changes on pin D2.
8. 8. Verify the stability of the switch in all positions.

Example code

```void setup() {} void loop() { int pos = digitalRead(2); Serial.println(pos); }```

Mini project
