Sp and dp refer to single pole and double pole st and dt refer to single throw and double throw.
Single pole single throw switch schematic.
Spst single pole single throw.
An spst switch has two terminals.
Below is an example of a circuit which utilizes a single pole single throw switch.
A double pole switch is what you need to control a 240 volt device because 240 volt circuits have two hot wires.
An spdt switch routes one input circuit to one of two output.
The difference between a single and double pole switch is that the latter controls two circuits at the same time.
A single pole double throw switch can serve a variety of functions in a circuit.
When the switch is closed the circuit is on.
Spst single pole single throw.
A basic on off switch that turns a single circuit on or off.
An spst switch has two terminals.
A basic on off switch that turns a single circuit on or off.
This type of switch is sometimes called an a b switch because it lets.
One for the input and one for the output.
One for the input and one for the output.
Single pole single throw spst switch circuit.
A single pole single throw switch serves in circuits as on off switches.
This means it has one input terminal and two output terminals.
The circuit symbol and a simple diagram representing the switch are shown and labelled.
When the switch is open the circuit is off.
Spst switches are thus very simple in nature.
A graphic illustrating an spst switch.
It has four terminals.
Spdt single pole double throw.
Two for incoming hots and two for outgoing hots.
A single pole double throw spdt switch is a switch that only has a single input and can connect to and switch between 2 outputs.
An spdt switch routes one input circuit to one of two output circuits.
Sp switches control only one electrical circuit.
