Description: 1. Definition: A DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) switch is an electrical component designed with six contacts that can switch two independent circuits or poles simultaneously. 2. Components: It consists of two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) contacts for each pole. 3. Operation: When a DPDT switch is flipped, it connects the incoming line to one set of contacts while disconnecting it from the other set. 4. Versatility: DPDT switches are widely used in various applications like power distribution, circuit switching, and signal routing in IoT projects, electronics, and automation systems. 5. Safety feature: The ability to switch two independent circuits makes DPDT switches an ideal choice for isolation applications, preventing voltage jumps or electrical interference between the connected circuits. 6. Ease of use: These switches come in different sizes and types, such as toggle switches, slide switches, rotary switches, and push-button switches, catering to various
