Hi,

I am trying to identify the switch that I have found in a project box.

It is an illuminated rocker switch with 4 terminals, that I think is DPST.

It has an "N" corresponding to two terminals and a "1" and a "1." corresponding to the two other inputs as shown in the image.

Can someone help me identify this switch and what the pins are used for?

Thanks!

 

In the circuit where I got this part from,

Line was connected to "1"
Neutral was connected to the leftmost "N" terminal.
A wire connected from the "1." pin to a "NO" terminal on an SPDT Momentary Switch
A Wire connected from the other "N" terminal to a component that looked like a terminal block.

I'm not sure why it is configured this way. Any thoughts?

Unlikely, rather SPST. 1.-1 is the switch, N-N the indicator.

But you should be able to identify the circuit easily with a continuity tester or multimeter.

What do you mean by "1.-1 is the switch, N-N the indicator."?

I'm referring to the switch pin names.

So the two "1" terminals are Line and the "N" terminals are neutral? I'm not sure what schematic symbol that I can refer to.
 

I think the switch is between the two '1' terminals and 'N' refers to the Neon indicator lamp connections.

Not a DPST but just a SPST with "1"

External 120V is required to operate the "N" neon which normal triggers <90V so 100V min if you want a reliable indication. The 100k current limit resistor would be internal and one "N" could be connected to the switched "1" thus requiring only the Neutral for the Neon indicator to the other "N"
