Q:Is this switch momentary?
by|Feb 10, 2018
2 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  No, not according to the description. It has three positions, with the center being off. If it were momentary, it would be labeled as ON-OFF-MOMENTARY or similar.

by|Dec 26, 2020

    A:  No. This switch is a maintained contact switch with 3 positions, ON-OFF-ON. If you're looking for a momentary contact version of this switch, see our GSW-117 switch.

          Answer This Question

          A:  I don't mean to offend you, but if you think switches are polarized, you better not attempt the project you are anticipating for this switch. Call an electrician.

            A:  The center tab is for the line voltage from your power source and the two outside tabs are meant for the load to your device. Center would be positive and the outside tabs would be negative.

              only half of circuit works
              Only one circuit works as verified by dmm continuity testing. Disappointing because it is too expensive also
