Carling Mini Toggle Switch, 3PDT

3PDT (ON-ON). These mini-toggles are high quality, will serve many uses in electric guitar wiring. Threaded bushing is .240" diameter and .350" in length. Thread size is 1/4-40. Includes mounting hardware, including two nuts, lockwasher, flat keyed washer. No dress washer is provided, but we have a couple of styles of dress nuts available separately. Standard-length lever provides additional leverage compared to stubby-style switches, making it easier to move the lever. 3PDT means three-pole, double-throw. These switches are essentially three switches in one, and can be used to do cool things that a DPDT (double pole) switch cannot. For example, while a DPDT switch can simultaneously split two humbuckers (using one of its poles to split each pickup), the third pole on this switch would allow you to simultaneously engage a 470k resistor, dropping the pot loading of a 500k volume pot down to 250k, approximating the pot value that's more commonly used with single coils. Pretty cool. It could also split three humbuckers simultaneously, such as in a Strat with three single-coil-sized Duncan humbuckers installed.
