Hi,

I am looking for a special switch for an r/c airplane related project I am working on. I am a noob on electronics, so please bare with me, also English is my 2nd language, so I hope my description is clear to you.

I need a switch that has 3 positions (on/off/on) and it has to switch 2 pairs of 3 wires. See below.

1st position (on):
1st pair of 3 wires connected, 2nd pair of 3 wires not connected

2nd position:
1st pair of 3 wires not connected, 2nd pair of 3 wires not connected

3rd position:
1st pair of 3 wires not connected, 2nd pair of 3 wires connected

Requirements:
- handle upto 10-15A (preferably more, 20-30A)
- since this is aiplane related, it has to be light and small (a few grams)

Looking forward to see what is available!

Thanks, Jan-Dirk
 
Would that be a Tripple Pole Double Throw switch? If so, do a search for 3PDT at www.digikey.com They have several available.
Or is it a Double Pole, Tripple Throw? In that case search for DP3T.
