    How the switching works:
    Short description:
    4 separate, three-terminal, SPDT, momentary switches operating in
    pairs
    . Pressing the lever in one direction toggles only two of the four SPDT switches. Pressing the lever in the other direction toggles the other two SPDT switches.
    Longer Description:
    This switch has a really clever momentary switching matrix which makes it extremely versatile. There are four SPDT switches operating in pairs. When the lever is in the center rest position, each individual section has an open terminal and a closed terminal, just like a typical SPDT. But the neat trick is when you pull the lever
    up
    from center,
    only two sections toggle
    ; the other two sections remain unchanged. When you push the lever
    down
    from the center rest position, the
    other two sections toggle
    leaving the first two unchanged.
    One customer wrote me and said these were "useless". He had to be kidding! I say he had no imagination. You can use just one half as a SPST, SPDT, DPST, DPDT - and that doesn't even begin to describe the novel switching action and actual applications, limited only by
    your
    imagination!
    Just a few possible applications:
    Use on reversible motors, latching relays..etc.
    Control 2 independent electrical systems.
    Polarity reversal applications.
    Small enough to use even if you just need one section.
    Sections 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 can be parallel wired for higher current capacity.
    Unbeatable versatility for multiple independent bi-directional control.
    You may think you don't need this switch, but someday you will, and you'll be glad you bought them here, when you did.
    These were made for a special application (SA) and are not in the catalog or on the ALCO web site. [The closest match I found is the MTF406N which lists at .08 each and operates all four sections simultaneously, the usual way. So you get these at an amazingly low price too!] LIMITED SUPPLY. Order now before they are all gone.
