Switch products SPST, SPDT, DPDT related analysis
In fact, these codes refer to the meaning of controlling several groups of circuits and switching several groups of signals. For example, SPST calls it a single-axis single-cut (single-pole single-throw in mainland China), one circuit that can pass one switch at a time; one switch The number of loops that can be controlled. This also affects how many feet on the switch, such as the nine-foot shaker switch, if you want to switch ON-ON, it will be the 3PDT mark, you can control the three sets of conduction at a time, you can use the handle to switch the two sets of circuits effect.
Here are a few examples:
SPST single-axis single-cut (single-pole single-throw) => single group conduction, single circuit open and close, with two feet (cut one)
SPDT single-axis double-cut (single-pole double-throw) => single group conduction, two groups of circuits open and close, with three feet
DPST double-axis single-cut (double-pole single-throw) => two sets of conduction, single circuit open and close, four feet (cut two)
DPDT double-axis double-cut (double-pole double-throw) => two sets of conduction, two sets of circuits open and close, with six feet
3PDT three-axis double-cut (three-pole double-throw) => three sets of conduction, two sets of circuits open and close, there are nine feet
And so on, (several P) x (several T+1) = number of terminal pins, because the switch must be turned on, there must be two points, so the switch must be at least ~ at least two feet.
In addition, if the switch function requires ON-ON-ON three-stage switching, then at least two sets of circuits "DPDT" or "4PDT" should be used.
