6-Pin DPDT Momentary Center-OFF Rocker Switch 21.4mm x 33.4mm Spring Return +
This 6-Pin Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) Rocker Switch is a high-capacity power component featuring a specialized dual-way spring return mechanism. Designed for momentary directional control or pulse-signaling in AC 240V systems, its large 21.4mm x 33.4mm footprint provides a robust tactile interface for industrial machinery and commercial equipment.
Key Product Features
-
Dual-Way Momentary Action: The internal spring mechanism ensures the actuator automatically snaps back to the center "OFF" position from either "ON" state, preventing accidental continuous operation.
-
6-Pin DPDT Configuration: Allows for the simultaneous control of two independent circuits, making it the industry standard for reversing motor polarity or triggering multi-stage logic controllers.
-
High-Contrast "I O II" Markings: The matte black rocker face is clearly silk-screened with white symbols to indicate the two active momentary states and the central neutral "OFF" position.
-
Industrial AC Power Rating: Built to handle heavy electrical loads, typically rated for up to 15A 250V AC or 20A 125V AC, suitable for high-wattage power tools and workshop equipment.
-
Secure Snap-In Installation: Features heavy-duty lateral tension clips for a tool-free, permanent lock into standardized rectangular panel cutouts.
-
High-Conductivity Terminals: Equipped with six vertically oriented male spade terminals, optimized for secure connection with standard quick-disconnect crimp lugs.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns �
� What happens when I let go of the switch? Because this is a spring-return model, the switch will not stay in the "I" or "II" position. As soon as you remove your finger, the rocker will immediately snap back to the center "O" (OFF) position, cutting power to the circuit.
Can I use this to reverse the direction of an AC or DC motor? Yes. The 6-pin DPDT layout is specifically designed for motor reversing applications. By cross-wiring the outer terminals, you can use Position I for forward and Position II for reverse, with the spring ensuring the motor stops as soon as the button is released.
� Will this fit in a standard small 20mm rocker hole? No. This is a Large Format industrial switch measuring 33.4mm in length. It requires a significantly larger rectangular cutout than mini or sub-miniature switches. Always verify your panel dimensions before installation.
