On-Standby-Off switches

Post by Cliff Schecht »

How are these typically implemented? I'm not seeing how a DPST switch can implement this without having a weird in between position that connects one set of lugs without connecting the other. I'm specifically looking at this part: http://www.tubesandmore.com/scripts/fox ... tem=P-H520

I'm not following ? As in how they are wired? Google "sundown sd1000h schematic". Sundown used this off / on / standby toggle

hope that helps

That's exactly how that switch works. 8)

The two lugs on one side are for one click up (on/standby) and the lugs on the other side are for two clicks up (play).

Yeah, they're good heavy duty switches, I like 'em a lot.

Does anybody have a schematic of how the switch is wired?
I have a hard time visualizing that.
Thanks.
