Hi guys.
I've got this 6 pin switch to hook up to AC power.
Having trouble making it work.

I want the switch to work between an IEC line filter and a power board.

6 pins on it.
x2 Common
x2 NC (Normally closed)
x2 NO (Normally open)

Push/Pull actuating button.

Can't find anything on Internet how to safely wire this up except diagrams of the switch.

All I'm needing is when the actuator is pulled out power flows through to a power board. I believe this is a NC set up?

When pushed back in the power is shut off to the power board.

Hope you guys can help.

hi geo,
I would connect as per this image. [ Your image shows the switch Push is Out]

My operating preference would be Pushed In is ON and Out is OFF

Thanks ericgibbs.

That worked perfect.
I did swap the outs as I'm emulating an arcade machine that starts by pulling, and pushing it in to stop.
Thanks again for the clear picture and fast help.

Hi,
Good to hear all OK.
If your mains has a Earth wire connection, be sure to connect it to the arcade metal work/chassis for grounding.
