The 6-Pin Miniature 3-Position Slide Switch is a high-reliability Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) component designed for precise, multi-state circuit switching. Featuring a robust metal frame and a space-saving 22.10mm x 12.60mm mounting footprint, this switch is an essential part for laboratory equipment, audio electronics, and multi-functional consumer appliances that require an intermediate "OFF" state.
3-Position DPDT Action: The 6-pin internal architecture supports an ON-OFF-ON configuration, allowing the user to switch between two independent circuits while providing a center-neutral "OFF" position.
Industrial Metal Housing: Constructed with a durable steel frame that provides superior structural integrity and protects internal contacts during frequent operation.
Smooth Slider Actuator: Features a high-friction, serrated black plastic slider for precise, tactile control across all three positions.
Surface/Chassis Mounting: Equipped with two pre-drilled mounting ears for secure attachment to panels or enclosures using standard screws.
High-Conductivity Terminals: Six vertically aligned solder lugs provide stable connection points for high-density wiring and dual-circuit routing.
Professional Power Ratings: The housing is stamped for reliable performance at 1.5A 250V or 3A 125V.
Switch Type: Slide Switch (DPDT).
Position: 3-Position (ON-OFF-ON / Route A-OFF-Route B).
Pin Count: 6-Pin Solder Lugs.
Frame Dimensions: 22.10mm (L) x 12.60mm (W).
Electrical Capacity: 1.5A 250VAC / 3A 125VAC.
Application: Perfect for internal power selection, audio mode switching, and laboratory equipment requiring a neutral state.
What is the benefit of the third position? Unlike standard 2-position switches, this model includes a center "OFF" position. This allows you to completely isolate both connected circuits without having to physically unplug your device.
How do I mount this to my project box? The switch features a "top-mount" design. You cut a small rectangular slot for the black slider and then use small screws through the holes in the metal ears to fasten the switch to the inside of your panel.
Is this switch suitable for high-current motors? This switch is rated for up to 3A at 125V. For high-torque industrial motors, it is recommended to use this switch to trigger a dedicated relay to ensure long-term contact life and prevent overheating.
