    Hi Matt,

    This pdf shows that model 982A01RX982A01RX follows the pinout designated 1A,

    which in the table in the PDF shows that pins 2 and 3 are the ones you should use.

    The manufacturer also makes different variations and in that case the additional pins get used.

    Hi Matt,

     

    Basically the NC and NO indicate normally-closed and normally-open, so one of the other two pins has to be the 'common' pin. In the case of this particular switch

    (actually many switches) more than one pin can be used for the same function. So, the two pins marked '1' are the 'common' pin.

    If you want a switch that connects when you press it, then you can use the NO pin, and either of the two pins marked '1'; just select the one that is convenient for your layout.

    Look at the 5511 3-sides view. The bottom view shows the pins with

    numbers 1-3 and 1-2.

    Look at the schematic picture of the switch and you can see that the

    common (1) is connected to 2 pins, N.O. pin to (3) and N.C. pin to (2).
