A tutorial on electronics' most overlooked and underappreciated component: the switch! Here we explain the difference between momentary and maintained switches and what all those acronyms (NO, NC, SPDT, SPST, ...) stand for.
Core Skill: Soldering
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Competent - You will encounter surface mount components and basic SMD soldering techniques are required.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Noob - You don't need to reference a datasheet, but you will need to know basic power requirements.

Since this is a DPDT switch, it can control two circuits. Does "Capable of switching up to 1.2VA" mean each individual circuit can be 1.2VA? Or, is the maximum VA for each circuit 0.6VA?
Why doesn't the datasheet match? This clearly says DPDT - which would be 6 pinouts - but the picture shows 3 and the datasheet is for a SPST switch. This is rather a big deal.
Scroll down -- the first section of the second page shows this switch.
The switches that we get now are black.
can you guys get a through hole dpdt switch please I can never really do anything with this kind.
