Hello people,
I am working on a small hobby project but hit a snag now i want to power my project.
This project is powered by a adapter that supplies 5v 6A, and it powers my computer board and a powered USB hub.
But i don't want to have to pull or push the power plug from the adapter everytime i want to use it.
Now i was designing my case and wanted to use a latching pushbutton to switch the project on or off, however i see that most switches are rated for 2A and for as far as my knowledge reaches for now i understand that no one likes to push a hot button.
Is there a way to switch my project on and off using either a latching or momentary switch button?
I've looked at 1 channel relays but i can't work out just yet if that is suited for my type of project or not?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
