Product Overview: 6-Pin DPDT Toggle Switch
The 6-Pin Toggle Switch is a heavy-duty DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) switch designed for controlling two separate circuits simultaneously. Unlike a basic switch, the 6-pin configuration allows you to flip two independent “poles” at the same time with a single lever. This makes it the industry standard for motor polarity reversal (Forward/Reverse), dual-power source selection, and complex industrial control panels.

Key Features
-
Dual Circuit Control: Operates as two separate switches controlled by one lever, enabling simultaneous switching of two different voltage lines.
-
Motor Reversing Capability: The 6-pin layout is perfectly designed for “H-Bridge” wiring to reverse the direction of DC motors.
-
Three-Position Options: Often available in ON-ON or ON-OFF-ON (Center Off) versions for specialized control.
-
All-Metal Lever: Features a rugged chrome-plated brass lever for high durability in harsh environments.
-
Easy Installation: Includes a mounting nut and locking washer for secure attachment to any 12mm panel hole.
Pin Configuration
-
Center Pins (Common): The main power inputs for Pole 1 and Pole 2.
-
Outer Pins: The two sets of output paths. Flipping the switch connects the center pins to either the top pair or bottom pair of outer pins
