DPDT on/on/on switch - are they ALL the same?

[wolf]

Yes, I know I've been a GuitarNut for a long time but recently (in another forum), someone said that in the middle position, all DPDT on/on/on switches would have termnals connected based on Diagram A.

I always thought that they could be wired in either configuration.
(After all, the Fender 5 way switch has terminal connections that depend upon the manufacturer).
So, are all the DPDT on/on/on switches manufactured according to Diagram A?

Mostly all.

Never say never.

A is a bottom view BTW.


There is (at least) one manufacturer that is backwards on the 4P3T. They are ok on the DP3T

The rule is "get yer meter out and check things before you wire things up".

If you don't have a meter, don't wire.
