What kind of switches are these?

[Spyderz20x6]

You know those little pushbutton switches?
Like the ones on leadlight drivers?

Are they SPST, or SPDT?

If i connect a wire to the bottom left pin, will it still complete the circuit if i connect a wire to the top right pin, and vice versa?

The ones I have that look like that are DPST N/O momentary... so 2 seperate switches
You need to consider the rated load for one contact if you are using one to switch two circuits.

No, i'm using it to switch one circuit, but i can't figure out which way it is wired.

get a ohm meter thats how i check them

They are probably single contact with common leads on each side...
Like John said... us a VOM to check it...
They are similar to the ones we use on the LaserBee I PCB..

Ya, but my DMM does not seem to measure continuity right.

Ya, but my DMM does not seem to measure continuity right.

Then use the Ohms scale at the lowest setting on your DMM...
hold the two probes together and note the reading... you will get that same reading (or very close)
when your switch contacts close...

Ok, i'll try it

 

[rog8811]

Diode test will do it as well... if your DVM has it...
