Hey guys,
I'm working on upgrading a piece of hardware at work, and it has switches that need to be replaced. I've been asked to source switch that, in the center position, has both contacts enabled, and when switched to either side opens one set of contacts. Basically the inverse of a plain SPDT toggle switch.
I've been having a fair amount of difficulty finding something like this, but if I hook a normal SPDT toggle up to a couple inverters, it would work. Problem being I need 7 of these switches, and that would be a lot of little inverter circuits.
The switches are meant to simulate NC limit switches for different axis of travel. So the switch in the "off" position is like having both limit switches de-activated (closed, connected), and flipping the switch to one position or the other is like activating one limit switch or the other (open, not connected).
Ideas? Thanks!
EDIT Ive just been informed that it HAS to be switches-only - no additional logic.
