Mechanical Design Advantages
Two Gang (DPDT) Configuration
Allows simultaneous control of two independent circuits, ideal for polarity reversal, mode selection, or dual power source switching.ON-ON (Maintained) Action
The switch stays in the selected position without spring return, suitable for applications requiring steady state selection.Flat Vertical Actuator
Low-profile flat lever reduces accidental actuation and fits well in panels with limited height.Right Angle PC Thru-Hole Mounting
Enables direct soldering onto PCBs with leads exiting parallel to the board surface — perfect for edge-mounted or space-constrained designs.Compact Footprint
Helps designers save board space while maintaining a robust mechanical feel.
Applications
Thanks to its IP-free industrial rating (note: not specified as IP67), this switch is suitable for indoor or protected environments such as:
Test and measurement equipment
Industrial control panels
Audio equipment (channel selectors)
Medical devices
Security systems
Prototype and development boards
