Re: 6 poll 2 way switch...

Is there a similar one operating a light fixture in any household you have ever been in? If the answer is no, then you will likely have a joy of a time convincing the inspectors that it is a common household light switch as per the minibot rules.

Re: 6 poll 2 way switch...

Fritz,
Respectfully, that wasn't 'nicely'.
By GDC definition, the switch must be of a type normally mounted in a wall box for controlling the lights in your house.

Re: 6 poll 2 way switch...

There are some specialty switches but not for mounting in a standard "household wall box".

There is no such thing as a 6 pole 2 way switch, you are mixing up naming conventions for switches in general (the x poll) and switches used in household wiring (the x way)

What are you trying to accomplish with this switch?

A 3way switch can be used to switch between "on" and "brake"

A 4 way switch can be used to switch between "forward" and "reverse" Or it can switch between 2 motors in "forward" and 1 motor in "reverse" plus 1 motor in "brake" mode.

What he said. Why on Earth would you need a 6PDT switch? You can probably get away with a 3-way light switch which is a SPDT switch.

Re: 6 poll 2 way switch...

Post a schematic of what you're trying to do. We might have some suggestions for ways to accomplish the task with a legal part(s).
