The MTS-102 is a blue mini toggle switch with SPDT ON-ON action: two latching positions and no off position. The centre solder lug is common and connects to one outer lug in each lever position, so it suits selecting between two circuits in a small panel. Need a centre-off position? Choose the MTS-103 ON-OFF-ON. Reversing a motor? Use the MTS-202 DPDT.

Wiring & getting started
- Work with the power off
Do the continuity check, mounting and soldering with the circuit disconnected.
- Map the two positions
Set a multimeter to continuity, hold one probe on the centre lug and touch each outer lug in turn. Each lever position closes the centre to one outer lug.
- Mount it
Drill a 6mm hole, pass the bushing through with the washers fitted and tighten the hex nut without crushing the panel.
- Solder and insulate
Solder the common wire to the centre lug and the two switched wires to the outer lugs, then cover the joints with heat shrink. Our toggle switch wiring guide shows SPST, SPDT and DPDT layouts.
Note: The switch is marked 6A 125VAC. Do not infer another voltage rating from this marking. Mains AC work in New Zealand must be done or certified by a licensed electrician.
