DP3T Switch?

Check out several on this page:

Digikey has plenty to choose from. E.g., 0.1A/12V slide On-on-on DP3T for ~$1. Products -> Switches -> DP3T -> Slide -> DP3T -> etc

Maybe I don't know it's played, but I get "No records match your search criteria" ...Jim Thompson

Did you try it my way instead of a direct search?

--- You can only click one thing at a time and then click the "apply filters" box.

That'll narrow your choices down further, and to narrow them more and more do the same thing over and over.

For example, if you click on "On-On-On" in the "Switch Function" box and the click the "APPLY FILTERS" button, that'll eliminate all of the other switch functions on the next page and let you choose the next thing you want to filter on.

If you click on "DP3T" under "Circuit" and then click "Apply Filters" Finally, if you click on a manufacturer and "Apply Filters" on the next page you'll get to where you need to be.

I chose CW Industries because I like their stuff, and the next page shows their offerings.

The first entry isn't bad; 125V @3A for $0.78 qty 1.

Check out several on this page:

-------- None of those are DP3T. The sliders only bridge the nearest two contacts and do not function as the OP requested.

Are you another GymieBob / Josepi troll moron?

OK. I guess I didn't understand that you apply one "filter" at a time :-( ...Jim Thompson

Hmm... I see. I mean, those *are* "on-on-on" "DP3T" switches

I'll be interested to see if we can find a DP3T switch of the kind Jim is after; seems like it is pretty unusual.

Come to think of it, I'd just look for a rotary switch, e.g.,

...but it appears there are some toggle switches that meet the bill as well, e.g.,

Intriguing...

What search criteria are you using?

I selected DP3T and ON-ON-ON, then push "apply filters," and got 93 products on 4 pages.

I'd suggest Mouser because, in my experience, they're usually cheaper than Digikey.

You can select as many criteria as you like from any or all fields, including multiple items in the same field (drag select consecutive items or conventional Windows CONTROL and SHIFT key select), then apply filters.

Same at Mouser except they give you the number matching the criteria before hitting apply filters so you can tell if you selected a combination that doesn't exist.

You don't have to. The only problem with multiple selections is if you select a combination that has no matching products.

It's also incorrect as you can select from different fields. Go ahead and try it.

They're probably trying to reduce complaints about "it didn't find anything" when selecting an incompatible combination and if you do it 'on at a time' you see what caused 'No records '.

"Instructions" ?? Isn't that what you read when all else fails ?:-) ...Jim Thompson

" When all else fails, read the instructions! ;-P
