MK Avant wide rocker light switch terminal identification

[alexandjen]

Can anyone please clarify which terminal are common, L1 and L2 on these switches as they are unmarked? thanks

Cant see from your pic, but there must be some writing on there, somewhere.

But generally on MK the COM is in the middle.

Thanks for that, yes there is writing on the black terminal block but none of it resembles COM,L1 or L2 unfortunately

Lol, problem solved, was looking passed it as it's embossed on the end where the cables are inserted and you were right common is the centre terminal, thanks again

TTC is always right.

You seem to have lost your signature, which, if present, would confirm that you are always right

Kind Regards, John

If you think about how a two-way switch works, it's generally a fair chance that 'common' will be in the middle.

Indeed so - but that's one of those apparently logical 'assumptions' which can jump up and shoot one in the back. I've certainly been caught out by such things. Never assume
