The Rocker Switch DPDT 6Pin (ON-OFF-ON) is a double-pole, double-throw switch designed for applications that require two independent circuits to be controlled simultaneously. With a center OFF position and two ON positions, it allows forward/reverse motor control, polarity reversal, or switching between two different power sources. Its durable housing and easy snap-in panel mount make it perfect for DIY electronics, robotics, automotive projects, and AC/DC equipment.
