Toggle switches

[carlmart]

Even if I had already, after selecting the type I wanted, ordered them in price from cheaper to expensive, I did this again just with C&K. They are more expensive than NKK and E-Switch, which are very good toggles too.

Expensive though.

For whoever said it, a triple throw switch would have three electrically connected positions in most cases. But some companies do not follow that convention and include an open center position.

And while everyone is fighting over semantics over the way to describe center off, and ON-ON-ON switch implies the the center position leaves both end poles connected to the common. A shorting switch in other words. Such a switch might be used to select one pickup or the other on a guitar, with center position enabling both.

An on-on-on will need 4 active pins to be handled, and it's more expensive indeed.

Leaving the mid position not connected to another end, just allows a third option, leaving the other two off. If you watch my drawing you will see what I mean.

MY following problem is finding a version that is vertical and has a bracket to solder on the pcb.
