Mini Toggle Switches — MTS & PS Series SPDT Red & Blue, 3 to 12 Pin

Whether you're wiring a custom control panel, modifying a vehicle dashboard, or building a DIY electronics project, finding a compact, reliable mini toggle switch that fits a tight panel cutout without sacrificing circuit flexibility is a constant challenge. Hobbyists, automotive enthusiasts, and electronics makers all run into the same wall: generic switches that don't match the pin count, throw direction, or form factor their project demands.

This listing covers the full MTS and PS mini toggle switch family — available in red or blue lever color, with 3-pin, 6-pin, 9-pin, or 12-pin configurations, and in 2-way (on-on) or 3-way (on-off-on) switching action. The MTS series uses a standard latching toggle mechanism, while the PS-102 and PS-202 variants feature a self-reset (momentary) push-button action. Bilateral self-reset models (MTS-123, MTS-223) spring back to center from either direction. The 12MM panel-mount series fits a 12mm (≈15/32") hole, while standard MTS models fit a 6mm (≈1/4") cutout. Available in quantities of 1, 2, 5, or 10 pieces per order.

These mini toggle switches are widely used in automotive interior controls and relay trigger circuits, DIY electronics enclosures and breadboard test rigs, RC vehicle and robotics direction-switching applications, and custom guitar amp or effects pedal switching builds.

🔌 Compatibility Note: MTS-series switches fit a standard 6mm (≈1/4") panel hole. The 12MM series requires a 12mm (≈15/32") panel cutout. PS-102 (3-pin) and PS-202 (6-pin) are momentary push-button types — confirm your circuit requires momentary vs. latching action before ordering.
⚠️ Spec Confirmation: Pin count, throw direction (2-way / 3-way), and switch action (latching / momentary / bilateral) vary by variant. Please verify your selection in the variant dropdown before adding to cart. Contact us if you need help matching a switch to your wiring diagram.

✅ Key Features of These Mini Toggle Switches

  • 🔴🔵Red & Blue Lever Options — Color-coded lever makes it easy to distinguish switch functions at a glance on multi-switch control panels, reducing wiring errors in automotive and DIY builds.
  • 📐Multiple Pin Configurations — Available in 3-pin (SPDT), 6-pin (DPDT), 9-pin, and 12-pin layouts, covering single-pole to quad-pole switching needs for mini toggle switch wiring projects of any complexity.
  • 🔄Latching, Momentary & Bilateral Self-Reset — Choose standard latching MTS toggles, spring-return PS push-button switches, or bilateral center-off momentary models for joystick-style direction control.
  • 🏗️Compact Panel-Mount Design — The slim toggle body fits tight enclosures and instrument panels. Standard MTS models mount in a 6mm hole; 12MM series mounts in a 12mm cutout — no special tools required.
  • Rated for Low-Voltage DC & AC Circuits — Generally rated at 6A/125VAC or 3A/250VAC, making these switches suitable for relay trigger lines, LED lighting circuits, and 12V automotive accessory switching.
  • 📦Flexible Pack Quantities — Order 1, 2, 5, or 10 pieces per variant to match your project scale — from a single prototype build to a small production run of control panels.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right pin count for my project?

Pin count corresponds to the number of electrical connections the switch makes. A 3-pin switch is typically used for simple SPDT on-on or on-off-on circuits. A 6-pin switch generally doubles the circuit capacity for dual-pole (DPDT) applications. 9-pin and 12-pin versions are used for more complex multi-pole switching. As a general rule, match the pin count to the number of poles your circuit requires — 3 pins per pole.

What is the difference between 2-way and 3-way switching?

A 2-way switch (on-on) toggles between two active positions — there is no off state. A 3-way switch (on-off-on) adds a center-off position, allowing you to fully cut the circuit. Choose 2-way for applications where the circuit must always be active in one direction, and 3-way when you need a neutral/off state.

What current and voltage ratings do these mini toggle switches support?

MTS-series mini toggle switches are generally rated for 6A at 125V AC or 3A at 250V AC. PS-series self-reset push-button switches typically share similar ratings. Always verify the specific rating on the switch body or datasheet before use in high-current applications.

Can these switches be used outdoors or in humid environments?

These mini toggle switches are not rated for outdoor or waterproof use in their standard form. For outdoor or high-humidity environments, a protective boot cover or sealed enclosure is generally recommended to prevent moisture ingress and corrosion of the contacts.

What panel hole size do I need to mount these switches?

MTS-series switches typically require a 6mm (≈1/4") panel cutout for mounting. The 12MM series variants require a 12mm (≈15/32") panel hole. Always confirm the mounting diameter from the variant name or contact us before drilling.

What is the difference between the MTS series and the PS-102/PS-202 self-reset switches?

MTS-series switches are standard latching toggle switches — they stay in position until manually moved. PS-102 and PS-202 are momentary push-button switches with a self-reset (spring-return) mechanism, meaning they return to their default position when released. Use PS-series when you need a momentary signal, such as for horn buttons, reset triggers, or pulse inputs.

What does "bilateral self-reset" mean on the MTS-123 and MTS-223?

Bilateral self-reset (also called center-off momentary) means the switch springs back to the center-off position from either side when released. This is useful for joystick-style controls, motor direction switching, or any application where you want momentary actuation in two directions with automatic return to neutral.
