DPDT Switch 6 Leg for Wired Robot/ Car Remote

The DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) Switch is the heart of any manual wired robot. This 6-pin rocker switch allows you to control the direction of a DC motor (Forward and Reverse) with a simple press.

Perfect for Wired Robots

This is the standard switch used in wired remote controls for school robotics projects, “Robo-Wars” bots, and RC car chassis. By connecting the pins correctly, you can reverse the polarity of the motor, making the wheel spin clockwise or counter-clockwise instantly.

High Durability & Current

Built to handle the load of standard BO motors and high-torque DC motors, this switch features sturdy metal terminals and a satisfying “click” action. It is a momentary (spring-loaded) ..

Technical Specifications

4. Connection Diagram (How to Wire for Motor Control)

To use this switch to reverse a motor, you need to wire it in a “Cross-Wired” polarity configuration:

The Layout:

Imagine the 6 pins are numbered like this:

[ 1 ]   [ 2 ]
[ 3 ]   [ 4 ]
[ 5 ]   [ 6 ]

Wiring Instructions:

1. Power Input (Battery): Connect your Battery Positive (+) to Pin 3 and Battery Negative (-) to Pin 4.

2. Cross Connections: Connect a wire from Pin 1 to Pin 6. Connect another wire from Pin 2 to Pin 5.

3. Motor Output: Connect your DC Motor wires to Pin 1 and Pin 2 (or Pin 5 and 6, since they are linked).

Result: Pushing the switch up sends + to one side of the motor. Pushing it down reverses the polarity, spinning the motor the other way.
