Description

DPDT is a double pole double throw switch; this is equivalent to two SPDT switches. It routes two separate circuits, connecting each of two inputs to one of two outputs. The position of the switch determines the number of ways in which each of the two contacts can be routed.

Whether it is in ON-ON or ON-OFF-ON mode they functions like two separate SPDT switches operated by the same actuator. Only two loads can be ON at a time. A DPDT can be used on any application that requires an open and closed wiring system. 

This type of switches are mainly used in various motor controllers where speed of that motor is to be reversed.
