Q. I am looking for a toggle switch that is biased one way only. It needs to be normally off, and held down to be on and when released go back to off, rather like a push button. If you don't have any such item could you recommend a push button that is rated at least 3A at 30v DC please.
A. Hi Peter, thank you for your question. 75-0086 is on-off-on which the central position is off and will return to off when released.

Thanks

A. Hi Davew. Thank you for your question. Sorry for the confusion, there is no difference in the action between an upper or lower case "o" when referring to on or On, on-off is a SPST switch with on/off action.

A. Hi Dave. Thank you for your question. These are momentary (on) off (on) toggle switches so will return to off once activated.

Q. Am I correct in assuming that there is a "centre off" position for this switch? I want to use the switch for an "on forwards, Off, on backwards" control switch for a battery operated motor.

Q. I'm looking for a 3 pole on-off-on toggle switch. I found two numbers on your site tech date - T8305 and T8307, but I can't locate them under toggle switches? Can you help please. Alos I notice the T8307 switch has the on's in bracket, what does this denote please? Regards, Bob Turner
A. Hi Bob. Thank you for your question. T8305 looks like 75-0092, whereas T8307 does not appear. Any of the switches in (ON) off (ON) means the contact is momentary if not in brackets then it is latching. The best we can offer is a 4PDT 75-0094.

30 March 2012 Question by: Don Upton
| Product code: 75-0086
Q. Just to make sure...these switches are centre-off at 'rest' position. When moved either forward or back (left or right) and then released, they return to centre-off. Please confirm.
A. Hi Don, thanks for your question.
This is correct . (on) is used to denote momentary – ie only working whilst operated in that direction. When released it will return to the rest position, off in this case.
