The circuit symbol and a simple diagram representing the switch are shown and labelled.
Single pole single throw switch schematic.
Below is an example of a circuit which utilizes a single pole single throw switch.
Dp switches control two independent circuits and act like two identical switches that are mechanically linked.
Spst single pole single throw.
An spdt switch routes one input circuit to one of two output circuits.
Pole refers to the number of circuits controlled by the switch.
Two for incoming hots and two for outgoing hots.
An spdt switch routes one input circuit to one of two output.
This means it has one input terminal and two output terminals.
A double pole switch is what you need to control a 240 volt device because 240 volt circuits have two hot wires.
It has four terminals.
When the switch is open the circuit is off.
A single pole single throw switch serves in circuits as on off switches.
Spdt single pole double throw.
Sp switches control only one electrical circuit.
A single pole double throw spdt switch is a switch that only has a single input and can connect to and switch between 2 outputs.
Spdt single pole double throw.
An spst switch has two terminals.
Single pole single throw spst switch circuit.
When the switch is closed the circuit is on.
A graphic illustrating an spst switch.
An spst switch has two terminals.
This type of switch is sometimes called an a b switch because it lets.
One for the input and one for the output.
Spst single pole single throw.
A basic on off switch that turns a single circuit on or off.
A basic on off switch that turns a single circuit on or off.
Sp and dp refer to single pole and double pole st and dt refer to single throw and double throw.
One for the input and one for the output.
