Further Information

Q:
How would I attach the key switch to the alarm project kit? Thanks
Asked by: colin farrington
A:
Hi Colin, Thank you for your question, this should be a simple change as the key switch has two contacts on the bottom. You would replace the slide switch with the key soldering the wire to the two contacts on the switch and this should allow you to switch on or off the power. best regards Cullen

Q:
I have purchased some of these for Year 11 electronics GCSE Controlled Assessment - they are making security devices and alarms. Possibly a stupid question - how do you attach these to the circuit?
Asked by: Chloe
A:
I don?t know which circuit you have but you just connect the two terminals on the switch as you would with a standard push to make switch. When the key is turned one way the switch closes when it is turned the other way the switch opens.
