Loose connections, wrong pin counts, and mismatched operation modes waste time and money. These mini SPDT toggle switches are designed to solve exactly that — giving makers, auto enthusiasts, and marine builders a dependable switching solution in a compact form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach switch is a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) design available in 2-pin, 3-pin, 4-pin, or 6-pin configurations, with 2-position or 3-position switching and your choice of latching (maintained) or momentary operation. The toggle body is compact enough for dense panel layouts, with a threaded bushing that typically fits a 6mm (15\/64\") panel cutout. Rated for use up to 240V AC, these switches cover a wide range of residential, automotive, and marine voltage requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical use cases include boat navigation light switches, automotive accessory controls, custom arcade button panels, and industrial equipment control boxes — anywhere you need a reliable mini toggle switch for 12V DC circuits or low-voltage AC panel wiring.
