I've come across multiple mentions of switches described as 1NO1NC.

They often described as having 2 options: ON/(OFF) and (ON)/OFF and from what I gather they have 3 terminals for wires: a NO terminal, a NC terminal and a C (?) terminal.

Can you explain what these mean?

When would you use the NO or the NC ?

Thanks
