Most Makers would agree adding an on/off function to a project is rather essential and a simple Mini Toggle Switch like this does the trick. It’s really handy to have a simple on/off switch, so that we don’t have to unplug our electronics or disconnect batteries when we want to put projects to rest. Offering a SPDT operating at 125V 6A, these Mini Toggle Switches feature 3-pin connectors to easily install in your projects and PCB. Although designed to offer On-Off functionality, they can also be used to switch between two different circuits or loads.

Flick on your lights or electric equipment with ease. These little switches find a variety of uses for most electronics projects. The insulation protects users from electrical leakage, while the toggle switch itself is made to be comfortable and firm. This ensures that you are completely secure from any potential electrical problems and cannot mistakenly leave the switch halfway, keeping the circuit safe from potential arcing and electrical damage.

Specifications & Features

Contact Type: Typically Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT), meaning it has one common pin and two alternative output paths.
Electrical Rating: Commonly rated for 6A at 125V AC or 3A at 250V AC.
Positions: Available in 2-position (ON-OFF or ON-ON) or 3-position (ON-OFF-ON) configurations.
Mounting: Usually features a small threaded bushing (around 6mm) for panel mounting on dashboards, project boxes, or toys.

Middle Pin: Connect the incoming positive or live power source wire here (the common terminal). 
Outer Pin: Connect the wire leading to your load (such as a light or motor) to one of the outer pins.
Unused Outer Pin: Leave it empty if you only need a simple on/off function, or use it to switch power to a secondary alternate circuit.
