Ok, well, I got some controls in the mail today from Yaton (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6148194537 ) and as you can see in the picture, the microswitches are at the bottom of the picture. The strange thing about those switches, however, is that they don't have a terminal that is labelled as being NO, but instead, it has 2 NC terminals (and the ground, of course). There is a small diagram, however, and I tried to put in ASCII art, but it just didn't work, so I'll try and explain it.
It has the the ground terminal labelled COM (1) at the bottom, with a line going up to a line beside the NC (2) terminal up above. Right below that terminal, there is a NC (3) terminal with a small line NOT attached to the COM(1).
Now, I would assume that NC(3) is the normally open terminal, as it shows its line being separate from the common ground, but it's strange, because, is this diagram showing a normal situation? Or one where the switch is pressed?
If anyone could give me an idea of what's going on here, I would appreciate it. At this point, I would think that NC(3) is the NO terminal, but I want to be 100% sure. Thanks again.
