6 Pin power switch

Post by Robots86 » Fri Nov 09, 2018 2:00 am

My new build is using a 6 pin switch instead of an original dmg. I presume its wired up similar to the powerboost?
Im guessing i need to wire up to 2 pins the same, 1 in the middle and 1 to the side on the same row.
This is what im using...

Think im going to chop of the unused row and bend the other pins up slightly to help it fit better in the case.

Can anyone confirm if my understanding is correct...?

you using a powerboost 1000C? If so then yes, just used one row, top or bottom. Middle pin and left pin for EN and GND. If you are using another boost, but use the middle and right pins to switch the 5V wire.

yeah, not problem, also, you can leave the top row if you want it for another use. For example, if you are using an ADS for battery monitoring, you can put B+ (battery voltage) to the top rail middle pin, and then use the right pin on the top rail to output B+ to the ADS. It's handy to be able to switch two things.
