WIRING DIAGRAMS
How to Identify a 6-terminal switch
You can find out the type of rocker or toggle switch by
a quick visual inspection.
Look at the back of the switch, where the terminals are.
Notice that there are six possible terminal positions.
rotary
Toggle and rocker switches are designed so that each vertical
set of terminals makes up one pole.
Pole 1
Our new 72150 Series Rotary Switches have many of the
electrical configurations that are available in rocker switches:
SP/DP; single-, double-, triple-, and quadruple-throw; illuminated or not; momentary/maintained; imprinted or not; and
with a choice of knob styles. Compact, with a durable Nylon
6/6 body. IP-53. 10A and 20A. Check them out in section N1.
Pole 2
1
4
2
5
3
6
You can see immediately that a switch with three verticallyorganized terminals must be a SPDT. Now check the actuator
(rocker or toggle handle) to see if the switch is 2-position
or 3-position.
3- and 4-way lighting
3-way lighting permits a light (or set of lights) to be
controlled from either one of two switches usually mounted in
different locations. Similarly, 4-way lighting enables control
from three switch locations.
If it only has two terminals, it must be a SPST, the simplest
of all switch configurations. Notice that the two terminals are
organized vertically (never side-by-side). Terminals can be
located at 1 and 2, 1 and 3, or 2 and 3.
3-WAY LIGHTING
If it has terminals at 1, 3, 4 and 6, it must be a DPST. You can
see that it utilizes the left side (pole 1) and right side (pole 2)
of the switch — two poles (DP).

B
If it has six terminals, it’s a DPDT. Check the actuator to see
if the switch is 2-position or 3-position.
