Wondering if anyone can give me an overview of toggle switch functionality

related to how the switching function is described.



What switching function would you want for a toggle switch in order to have

two separate circuits controlled INDEPENDENTLY, where you can leave one

circuit on while controlling another?



i.e.  --  ON  --  OFF  --  ON:  With this switching function, wouldn't you

have to turn off one side in order to activate the other?



Would a relay be necessary to do this, again, with ONE toggle switch?



I believe what I am after is a double pole (two separate circuits), double

throw (two contact directions) switch, but I am confused as to how one

toggle switch can control both on/off for two separate circuits?



Thank you!



Andy

Andy,



I think what you want is a "progressive" double pole three position switch.

Scroll to the bottom of these links.

Of course many manufactures make them. I bought mine at

These are awesome functions and very useful for aircraft.  I am employing

several in my RV7A.  Have fun.
