MTS-202 toggle switch, 3 positions, 6 pins, 6A/125V – 3A/250V

MTS-202 Toggle Switch – 3 Positions, 6 Pins, 6A/125V – 3A/250V

The MTS-202 toggle switch is a compact, reliable component designed to control electrical and electronic circuits with precision. Featuring 6 pins and a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, it can switch between two circuits or control two separate lines at the same time. Depending on the version, it may include a central OFF position, making it ideal for completely disconnecting power between two operating modes.
