Detailed Product Description:

The 6-pin DPDT Rocker Switch is a fundamental component for professional electricians, hobbyists, and manufacturers alike, offering versatile and reliable control over a wide range of electrical circuits. Its Double Pole, Double Throw (DPDT) configuration allows it to control two separate circuits simultaneously with three distinct positions: ON, OFF, and a second ON. This On-Off-On functionality is particularly valuable for applications that require a center-off neutral state, making it ideal for managing multiple power sources or for reversing the polarity of a DC motor.

This specific model, often found under the KCD1 series, is a compact and durable solution with robust electrical ratings. It can handle up to 6A at 250VAC and is also suitable for low-voltage applications, including 12 Volt DC systems, making it perfect for car, boat, and DIY projects. The 6-pin design, featuring three pins per pole, allows for straightforward wiring of common, normally-open, and normally-closed connections. This snap-in panel-mount design ensures easy installation into any enclosure, providing a clean, professional finish.

Whether you're building a control panel for a robotics project, implementing motor direction control for a linear actuator, or simply need a reliable power rocker switch for an appliance, the KCD1 DPDT switch is the go-to choice. Its high-quality build and long electrical life guarantee a durable and long-lasting solution, providing consistent and safe performance for all your switching needs.

The DPDT Rocker Switch is a high-quality, Double Pole Double Throw switch with six terminals, allowing you to control two separate circuits or reverse current flow in a single circuit – often used in DC motor direction control, polarity reversal, or power line switching.

It acts like two SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switches operated by a single actuator. This switch is widely used in robotics, automation projects, model trains, motorized systems, and more.

Its rugged design makes it suitable for both low-voltage electronics and moderate power loads. You can mount it directly on a panel using its standard rectangular cutout.
