Hey folks, been searching for the last few weeks for some simple 3-way toggles but I'm having no luck. On-Off-On aint 3 way enough for this cat, no sir, I want 3 separate..thingies. And I don't want to waste the space with a rotary encoder. Anyone able to help a brother out?

As per the thread title, Digikey show eight different 3PST/(ST3P) toggle switches in stock. But i really have no idea if that's what you're looking for.

An on-on-on DPDT can be wired up as a SP3T:

Then I think you want three THROW. Not "ST3P".

Or he's a hip kid really after a few 2ST3P switches, keep it shuffling...

That's the ticket.

Anyway, I still have little to no luck with the usual suppliers for 3 way toggle or slide switches. I was doing an order off of RS for a Power Trafo, but I guess I'll have to get them seperate. Thanks for the Digikey tip.

I spotted them on my Brother's Doepfer, and I kinda want the same size switch for basic circuit mods in small enclosures. The hunt continues.
