"I bought this switch to use a toggle for a small winch. The switch reversed th polarity of a set of solenoids and was well under the rated maximum amps. After a few months of occasional use, the switch hardly works, it rarely clicks in either direction. I should have just bought a nicer model in the …"  Read Full Review »

"Switch has 6 contacts and flips up and down, spring returns to center. When centered, no contacts conduct. When down, 1 & 2 conduct and 4 & 5 conduct.

When up, 2 & 3 conduct and 5 & 6 conduct. I had to buy it to find out what it did, and it does not suit my purpose. "
