Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns 🙋‍♂️

1. ⚡ Can I use this for 12V DC projects?

   • Yes. These switches are frequently used in 12V DC automotive and hobby electronics; while rated for AC, they handle low-voltage DC loads exceptionally well.

2. 🔧 Is the "Center-OFF" position momentary?

   • No. This is a maintained (latching) switch, meaning it stays in whichever of the three positions you move the lever to.

3. 💪 How do I wire this for motor reversing?

   • By using this switch as a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) selector, you can toggle between two different power paths or use two of these in tandem for more complex DPDT-style reversing.
