Carling Rocker Switch Wiring Diagrams - VAD1, VLD1, V8D1, VMDJ Terminal Pinouts
Switch terminal wiring chart pairing rocker-switch part numbers with their circuit and terminal diagrams
This document is a wiring reference sheet for Carling Technologies Contura-style rocker switches, showing terminal pinouts and internal circuit schematics for several switch models. Covered models include the VAD1-G66B (ON-OFF double-pole), VLD1-S00B ((ON)-OFF-(ON) momentary), V8D1-S00B ((ON)-OFF-(ON)), and VMDJ-G66B ((ON)-ON-OFF with latching and momentary positions). For each switch, the sheet identifies terminal functions: terminal 8 is the indicator lamp positive, terminal 7 is negative, terminals 2 and 5 are positive inputs, and terminals 1, 3, 4, and 6 are positive outputs (with switch-up/switch-down assignments for the momentary models). Diagrams show both the physical terminal layout on the back of the switch and the internal contact/lamp schematic. A footnote for the VMDJ-G66B explains that it ships with a pre-installed but removable external jumper between terminals 2 and 5, normally left in place unless the user wants to separate the momentary and latching positions. Two actual rocker switches are photographed lying on the sheet; one is marked Carling Technologies VLD2, rated 20A at 12V. This is a switch manufacturer reference, not vehicle-specific wiring, useful for anyone wiring Carling V-series rockers for accessories.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the terminal pinout for the Carling VAD1-G66B ON-OFF switch?
- Terminal 8 is IND LAMP (+), terminal 7 is NEGATIVE, terminal 2 is POSITIVE 1 (IN), terminal 5 is POSITIVE 2 (IN), terminal 3 is POSITIVE 1 (OUT), and terminal 6 is POSITIVE 2 (OUT).
- How is the Carling VLD1-S00B (ON)-OFF-(ON) switch wired?
- Terminals 2 and 5 are positive inputs; terminals 1 and 4 are positive outputs when the switch is down; terminals 3 and 6 are positive outputs when the switch is up.
- What does the jumper between terminals 2 and 5 do on the VMDJ-G66B switch?
- The switch comes with a pre-installed but removable external jumper between terminals 2 and 5. It is normally left in place unless the user wants to separate the momentary and latching positions.
- Which terminal on the VMDJ-G66B is latching and which is momentary?
- Terminal 3 is the latching positive output and terminal 6 is the momentary positive output; terminals 2 and 5 are positive inputs and terminal 7 is negative.
- What is the electrical rating of the switch shown in the photo?
- The Carling Technologies switch lying on the sheet is marked VLD2, 20A 12V.
