Description

The DPDT 6 Pin Toggle Switch ON-OFF-ON (15A 250V) is a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) toggle switch designed for high-power applications. This switch features a compact design with six pins and is rated for 15A at 250V, making it suitable for a wide range of IoT applications, including industrial control systems, automation, and power distribution.

Functionality

The DPDT 6 Pin Toggle Switch ON-OFF-ON (15A 250V) is a 3-position toggle switch that allows for three distinct statesON, OFF, and ON. The switch features two poles, each with a common terminal and two switchable terminals. This allows the switch to control two separate circuits or devices simultaneously.

In the ON position, the switch connects the common terminal to one of the switchable terminals, allowing current to flow through the circuit. In the OFF position, the switch disconnects the common terminal from both switchable terminals, interrupting the circuit. In the second ON position, the switch connects the common terminal to the other switchable terminal, redirecting the current flow.

    digitalWrite(led2, LOW);
  } else if (switchState == LOW) {
    // Switch is in position 2 (ON)
    digitalWrite(led1, LOW);
    digitalWrite(led2, HIGH);
  } else {
    // Switch is in position 3 (OFF)
    digitalWrite(led1, LOW);

GPIO.setup(relayPin, GPIO.OUT)
while True:
  switchState = GPIO.input(switchPin)
if switchState:
    # Switch is in position 1 (ON)
    GPIO.output(relayPin, GPIO.HIGH)
  elif not switchState:
    # Switch is in position 2 (ON)
    GPIO.output(relayPin, GPIO.LOW)
  else:
    # Switch is in position 3 (OFF)
    GPIO.output(relayPin, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(0.1)
