Metal Toggle Switch with Rubber Topped Cap: DPDT

This Panel Mount DPDT Metal Toggle Switch is ideal as a simple ON/OFF switch for your electronic projects. Black rubber cap sits atop the switch to protect it from rain, dust and debris.

It has 2 sets of 3 Poles and is Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) which means that when you slide the switch to the up position, the top and middle poles get connected, and when you slide the switch to the down position, the bottom and middle poles get connected. Very convenient in circuits because you can not only use it as an ON/OFF switch by connecting the middle and the top or the middle and the bottom poles to your circuit, but also as a toggle switch connecting the middle pole to the top and the middle pole to the bottom when you press it into the up and down positions respectively.

Useful for having a single ON/OFF switch control 2 things at once such as a circuit and an indicator light.

Extra sturdy metal design with weatherproof rubber cap. Fantastic for beginners, useful for everyone.
