Hi guys,

I’m fairly new to wiring, and I’m looking to teach myself how to wire up a microswitch in one of my projects. The switch itself has three terminals that are approximately 2.8mm wide, and I’m working with some spare 28 AWG wire.

Would the parts below be an appropriate combination to connect up my switch?
