Switching Type and Configuration


	Switching Mechanism
	Your choices are...
	SPST		Single-pole, single-throw. A switch that makes or breaks the connection of a single conductor in a single branch circuit. This switch typically has two terminals. It is commonly referred to as a "single-pole" switch.
	SPDT		Single-pole, double-throw. A switch that makes or breaks the connection of a single conductor with either of two other single conductors. This switch typically has three terminals, and is commonly used in pairs and called a "three-way" switch.
	DPST		Double-pole, single-throw. A switch that makes or breaks the connection of two circuit conductors in a single branch circuit. This switch typically has four terminals.
	DPDT		Double-pole, double-throw. A switch that makes or breaks the connection of two conductors to two separate circuits. This switch typically has six terminals and is available in both momentary and maintained contact versions.
	Other		Special throw types with more than two poles, such as switches designed to split loads into separate circuits (e.g., headlamp switch).
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Switch Type Function
	Your choices are...
	Maintained Contact		The switch stays open or closed after actuation until the next actuation. The switch stays in its actuated position, even after the removal of the operating force.
	Alternate Contact (Push-Push)		Push - ON, push - OFF. The switch changes from opened to closed at each actuation.
	Momentary Contact		The switch is open or closed only during actuation. After actuation force is removed, the switch reverts to its normal position.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary switch type.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Configuration
	Your choices are...
	Normally Open (NO)		A term used to describe contacts that interrupt the circuit when in their normally open position.
	Normally Closed (NC)		A term used to describe contacts that establish a circuit when in their normally closed position.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
