Be patient - half of the members are sleeping at the moment . And as this question isn't exactly connected with bike lights You should put it in flashlights electronics sub forum - there you will get your answer quicker.

Szemhazai sorry for my impatience

well only reason to but it here is because its going in my bikelight so its related as any other device that people want to use for something to put on their bike

and its just that this is the forum i usually roam in

well i figure its maybe not that much of a hassle to test how it works or destroy one for figuring out

I don't think that those are momentary switches. Those are latching switches. Push on, Push off. You need to get a proper momentary switch for your bFlex to function correctly. Digikey, Mouser, Newark and other electronics distributors have comprehensive online catalogues and will have what you need.

well i was hoping this could be wired up to function like i wanted ie take out the latching effect but i hooked up my multimeter a battery and tried to figure it out

so for anyone interested its a 4 step button!

the small middle pin connects to 1 of the 3 others every 4 click (1 is off)
so i figure i cant use em

You could try cracking open the case, and check it out.

thats what i did and it seemed very strange

its like a little thing that rotors every time you click and make a connection with another pin

Now that sounds cool. How many output pins? Three?

Edit: Oh, you already said above.

How much current can they take? Actually, that wouldn't matter for driving AMC7135s, for example. I think I've just found my long-searched-for multi-position micro-switch! :kiss:

im actually happy if this is helpfull for anyone

dont know about current thou..
there are 4 differend positions if we call the pins 1,2,3,4 1 will connect to first 2 then 3 then 4. and fourth click is off the rotor is a spot without a pin
