I've just got my hands on a vandal switch for a build i'm doing and thought i'd also but the optional cable pack so as to make working out what goes where easier.

Or so I thought. Neither come with instructions and it isn't that obvious what goea where as nothing is even labeled (apart from a + and - sign in the middle of the switch which could relate to almost any of the five pins.

I'm hoping to use it as a power button of the mobo, I've included a few pics

All help much appreciated.

hey buddy, long time no see and all that!
yours has more pins than mine but i was in the same situation as you and just guessed.
instead of the two yellows, i have white so i reckon they are for the lights. on mine, thats the outer two pins.
red and black is power, the two inside pins for me. should really matter which way you get them since its a switch, i just cant help you with the extra pin you have in the middle, sorry.
 
The + and - refer to the LED lamp in the centre (I am guessing here!)

The one in the centre is probably ground, and the 2 outers are probably the switch. Not got a multimeter to check with?

Failing that, go to where you bought it and ask for the data sheet.
