CBE 2 way 2 gang switch

[CatDem]

Hi, I wonder if you could help me, I am wanting to power a couple of spotlights inside my van and a led strip on my awning from a single positive feed going into a CBE 2 way 2 gang switch but I am confused about the wiring, could you help please? I have attached pictures of the switch and also the wiring I have in place

That will be the two pins that connected when the switch is on.

If imagine, in on the middle pin and out on the top pin.

Just use a multimeter to see what two pins you need.

The centre pin is common, as you have a 2-way switch. It can be wired as simple on-off if needed

I need each switch to operate an item each with only 1 positive coming in so surely the 2 switches need to be connected somehow?, sorry for my ignorance

so I just connect the feed in to either of the centre pins and then connect the 2 outlet pins together to send the feed out through one cable?

Yes just daisy chain the center pin as the POS feed.

The out at the top of each switch to be the circuit.

You're likely using crimp terminals to terminate the wire so just use a wider guage one on the connection that needs 2 wires in.

If you can resist the tempatation to twist the copper strands, if you can get both wires in "straight" and crimp like that the connection will be better.
