MTS & PS Series Mini Toggle Switch — 3/6/9/12 Pin, 2-Way & 3-Way for Electronics, Audio & DIY Builds

When you're mid-build on a guitar pedal, custom control panel, or electronics project and realize you grabbed the wrong switch configuration, it costs you time and momentum. Makers, hobbyists, and electronics technicians who work with sub-miniature toggle switches need a reliable source that stocks the full MTS and PS series lineup — not just the common 3-pin models — so you can get exactly the pole count and throw configuration your circuit calls for.

This listing covers the complete MTS and PS series sub-miniature toggle switch range: MTS-102, MTS-103, MTS-202, MTS-203, MTS-302, MTS-303, MTS-402, MTS-403, PS-102, PS-202, MTS-123, and MTS-223. Pin counts range from 3-pin (single-pole) through 12-pin (quad-pole), with 2-way and 3-way throw options. Available in Blue or Red color-coded lever caps for easy visual identification on multi-switch panels. Order 1, 2, or 5 pieces per variant.

Typical applications include true-bypass wiring in guitar effects pedals using the 9-pin 3PDT MTS-302/303, A/B input selector switching in audio preamps and mixers using 6-pin DPDT models, and multi-circuit control panel switching in DIY electronics enclosures where color-coded levers help operators identify switch function at a glance.

🔌 Compatibility: Standard sub-miniature toggle switch footprint. Fits panels with approximately 6mm mounting holes. Solder-lug terminals compatible with standard PCB and point-to-point wiring. MTS and PS series are interchangeable in many applications — verify pin layout before substituting models.

✅ Key Features of These MTS & PS Series Mini Toggle Switches

  • 🔢Full Series Coverage — 3 to 12 Pins — From single-pole 3-pin to quad-pole 12-pin, this listing covers the complete MTS and PS series range so you can match the exact pole count your DIY electronics toggle switch circuit requires.
  • 🔄2-Way & 3-Way Configurations — 2-way models switch between two active positions; 3-way models add a center position for neutral or alternate routing — ideal for 3-way guitar switch wiring and selector circuits.
  • 🟥🟦Red & Blue Color-Coded Levers — Visually distinguish switch functions on multi-switch panels without labels. Particularly useful in audio equipment, test rigs, and control boards where quick identification matters.
  • 🎸Guitar Pedal & Audio Ready — The 9-pin MTS-302/303 is the go-to choice for true-bypass toggle switch guitar pedal builds. 6-pin DPDT models handle A/B switching and channel selection in audio circuits.
  • 🔧Threaded Bushing Panel Mount — Installs through a standard small-diameter panel hole and secures with a nut, giving a solid, rattle-free fit in metal enclosures, project boxes, and PCB-mounted applications.
  • 📦Flexible Pack Quantities — Available in 1, 2, or 5 pieces per order. Stock up on the models you use most, or grab a single switch for a one-off repair or prototype build.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between a 2-way and 3-way mini toggle switch?

A 2-way switch has two active positions — it routes the circuit to one of two outputs. A 3-way switch adds a center position, which is typically a center-off (open) or center-on state depending on the model. For guitar pedal bypass or simple A/B switching, a 2-way is generally sufficient. For circuits that need a neutral or off position between two active states, choose a 3-way model.

What do the pin counts (3, 6, 9, 12) mean on these toggle switches?

The pin count reflects the number of solder terminals on the switch. 3-pin models are single-pole (SPDT/SPST); 6-pin models are double-pole (DPDT); 9-pin models are triple-pole (3PDT); and 12-pin models are quad-pole (4PDT). More poles allow you to switch more circuits simultaneously with one lever movement.

What is the current and voltage rating of these mini toggle switches?

MTS and PS series sub-miniature toggle switches are typically rated at 0.5A–6A at 125VAC or 250VAC depending on the specific model. These are generally intended for low-to-medium current signal and control circuits. Please contact us to confirm the exact rating for your chosen variant before use in high-current applications.

Can these toggle switches be used outdoors or in humid environments?

These are standard open-frame sub-miniature toggle switches and are not rated for outdoor or high-humidity use on their own. For outdoor or moisture-prone installations, they should generally be housed inside a sealed enclosure. They are not IP-rated as supplied.

What panel cutout size do these mini toggle switches require?

MTS and PS series mini toggle switches typically require a panel mounting hole of approximately 6mm (≈15/64") in diameter. However, exact bushing diameter can vary by model. Please contact us to confirm the exact spec before drilling your enclosure or panel.

What is the difference between MTS and PS series toggle switches?

MTS series switches are standard sub-miniature toggle switches with a metal bushing and lever. PS series switches are generally a sub-miniature variant with a slightly different body profile or terminal layout. Both series use the same pin-count and way-count naming convention. If you are replacing an existing switch, match the model number for a direct fit.

Are these toggle switches compatible with guitar pedal and audio circuit builds?

Yes — MTS and PS series mini toggle switches are widely used in guitar pedal builds, audio selector circuits, and DIY effects units. The 9-pin 3PDT (MTS-302/303) is particularly popular for true-bypass wiring in guitar effects pedals. The 3-pin and 6-pin models are commonly used for input selection and channel switching in audio equipment and custom enclosures.
