Prototyping & Installation Tip (Master Power Toggling)
When using this as a power switch for a small Robogears robot, connect your battery positive (+) to the Center Pin (Common). Connect your circuit to one of the Side Pins. When the slider is moved away from that side pin, the circuit is broken (OFF). If you connect a second device (like a Charging Port or an LED) to the remaining side pin, you can create an "OFF/CHARGE" and "ON" setup where the robot can only be charged when the main power is disconnected.
