How to wire a 6-pin DPDT switchdouble pole double throw functionality with reverse motor capability
Standard DPDT Connections
- Connect up to four loads to terminals #1, #3, #4, and #6. Make sure to ground your loads.
- Connect your power source positive to the unused screw terminal #2 (which powers terminals #1 and #3) and screw terminal #5 (which powers terminals #4 and #6). Ground the negative.
- This 6-pin DPDT On/Off/On switch cannot physically power all loads simultaneously. Toggle to the ON position to power loads #3 and #6 and toggle to the other ON position to power loads #1 and #4.
- For momentary switches, there is only 1 momentary (ON) position.
Reverse PMDC Motor Operation
- To power a 12vDC permanent magnet (PMDC) motor with reverse control capability, start by connecting short jumpers between terminals #1 and #6, and between terminals #3 and #4.
- Connect your motor to terminals #3 and #6, using a relay if needed.
- Connect your power source positive to terminal #2 and your negative to terminal #5.
- Toggle to the ON position to drive the motor forward, and toggle to the other ON position to reverse the motor direction.
