6-Pin DPDT Center-OFF Rocker Switch 22mm x 21.60mm Dual-Circuit Control +
This 6-Pin Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) Rocker Switch is a high-performance power component designed for complex switching requirements in AC 240V systems. With its 22mm x 21.60mm square profile and a versatile three-position actuator, this switch allows for the independent or simultaneous control of two separate electrical circuits with a safe neutral "OFF" state.
Key Product Features
-
Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) Action: Features a 6-pin configuration that allows you to control two independent circuits at once, making it ideal for reversing motor direction or switching between two different power sources.
-
Three-Position Actuator (I-O-II): The rocker face is clearly marked with "I", "O", and "II" symbols. The center "O" position serves as a complete disconnect for all connected lines, providing a reliable safety cutoff.
-
High-Voltage AC Rating: Specifically engineered to operate reliably under AC 240V loads, making it suitable for industrial machinery and heavy-duty household appliances.
-
6-Pin Male Spade Terminals: Equipped with six high-conductivity vertical terminals for secure and organized wiring of dual-line inputs and outputs.
-
Standardized Snap-In Mounting: The 22mm x 21.60mm housing includes flexible lateral tension clips for quick, tool-free installation into rectangular panel cutouts.
-
Durable Matte Construction: The industrial-grade black polymer casing is designed to resist mechanical wear and heat, ensuring long-term operational stability.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns �
� How is a 6-pin switch different from a 4-pin switch? A 4-pin switch is typically a simple ON-OFF for two lines. This 6-pin DPDT switch allows you to toggle between two different sets of outputs (Position I and Position II) or keep everything disconnected in the center (Position O). This is essential for tasks like making a motor spin in two different directions.
Does this switch stay in position or spring back? This model is a maintained switch. It will stay locked in whichever of the three positions (I, O, or II) you select until you manually flip it again. It does not have a spring-return mechanism.
� Will this fit in the same hole as a 4-pin switch? Yes, if your 4-pin switch also uses the 22mm x 21.60mm mounting standard. While the number of pins on the back is different, the exterior dimensions and snap-in clips are designed to be compatible with the same standardized panel cutouts.
