## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA2379:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA2379:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

ON...off...ON...off...ON...off...ON...off...WE CAN'T STOP CLICKING THIS ON-OFF SWITCH! It has such a satisfying click and it works so well. Plus, it's just about perfect for charging your Raspberry Pi - either Model B, A+, B+, or Pi 2. Just hook up the standard USB end to a [5V 1A USB port power supply](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/ADA501) or [5V 2A USB port power supply](https://core-electronics.com.au/5v-2a-switching-power-supply-w-usb-a-connector.html) and the Micro B end to a Raspberry Pi and you have a Pi with a switch.
 
 This cable will also work with anything that has a MicroUSB port. **This cable does not transfer data** - so it's mostly just good for powering and charging devices - but adding an on/off switch to your power supply is a nice addition and one that Adafruit absolutely love clicking.

## Technical Details

- Cable Length: 5 feet / 1.5m
- 22 AWG wire
- Switch is 43mm x 15mm x 12mm
