What is the difference between a SPST, SPDT, DPST, and DPDT switch? - Detailed

[@GalOrlanczyk]

I was searching for such a long time for a simple explanation and couldn't find one. You explained things with extreme simplicity and clarity! THANK YOU!

[@justfortier]

I'm trying to relearn after 20 years, this was perfect. A schematic demostration with a physical demostration. Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[@noobian458]

You are an incredible teacher

[@lukwiyastephen5893]

Fantastic teacher, you perfectly connect theory and practical aspects very well.

[@mcspirit7138]

I have seen a bunch of videos on this topic and so far this one was the best.

[@maztergee]

You’re a genius, so well explained, exactly what i needed. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@viewer2325]

Thank you for your time and the fine explanation of a SPDT switch. Now maybe I can make it work.

[@TB-xw2ui]

Thanks for the very informative and easy to follow video. I watched a few others first but they were not as clear and as easy to understand as your video. Thanks again.

[@cubanmedic9511]

Great video, thank you, you have simplified it better than other videos and made it sound interesting. Great instructor. Subscribing now!

[@mr.anonymous298]

Thank you sir, it was a great informative video. Now types of switches is clear to me.

[@tinuvarun5806]

You are awesome man. Thank you very much for this video

[@kenny7479]

Best explanation out there. Much thanks

[@kims2651]

Thank you! This video is very helpful in explaining the differences!

[@sharpmerciful787]

So basically with DPDT, it outputs 6 connections/circuits, but you have to crosswire the leads so it reverses the polarity, meaning you shouldn't be adding wires to all 6 terminals. Thanks for this video. I was looking for a very simple explanation and couldn't find one.

[@semirubraimah]

I like your teaching it is very nice

great explanation

thanks a lot. Very clear explanation.

Great video

[@joshlewis5065]

I am gonna use one of those spdt switches as a hi/lo beam switch for my motorcycle. I'll have the power for the LED headlight split to a PWM and then to the switch, and then straight from the power to the switch to flip between dimmed and fully on. That way my dimmer will be adjustable

[@ismaelsiwi9953]

Elcellent tutorial 🎉

[@pieterhuman8049]

Great video!

[@benjamingebre4561]

So interesting continue

🛑Great video. But, the example you provided for the DPDT switch is not what the switch is made for! It’s unrealistic to wire 4 applications (devices) in one switch just to make each 2 work together separately from the other 2. DPDT is made to be used in an open and closed wiring circut independently and simultaneously, as it can separate both + & - connections. Mostly used in motors to reverse polarity / rotation.

[@Senthilr123]

thanks for the detailed explanation

[@Astrosisphere]

Helpful but I've now discovered that I need something different to all of those! What do you call a Single Pole Double Throw which also has an Off position?

[@littlepeoplesmontessoripre5564]

thanks for this video

Hi I was wondering if you know what type of button I would need to wire up my motorcycle for a push button start. What I do know is the head light and the instrument panel lights run through the same button that starts the bike. The problem I have is that when I half press the stock button it disconnects the circuit that sends power to the lights and a full press completes a circuit to send power to the starter relay. It has two power wires, a ground wire, and a circuit complete wire the runs to the lights. I need a button that disconnects the always on circuit from the key then completes the circuit to the starter relay with one action of the button. It need to be simultaneous.

[@richardspencemorgan9985]

Excellent

Hello and thanks for the video. I am trying to understand an issue I have with new push button switches I bought for a motorbike. Taking the headlight as an example: When I press the button in to ON (it stays in as designed) - light comes ON. Normally to switch the headlight OFF I would press the button again thus returning the pushbutton to the off position. However it doesn’t work this way. I need to press the button IN - OU - IN - OUT (4 presses instead of two). Any idea why this would be? Also, if I just touch the button(not pressed fully in to the locked In position - then the switch activates the light correctly - slight press for ON and slight press for OFF (no locking button in/out) - this way it works. Would appreciate some tips of what’s happening and I hope I explained myself clearly.

Hello, I have a SPST switch with a connector on it that has a brown, white and two red wires, how do I connect it to be used as interuptor switch for a single wire device?

[@wenhaowang8378]

very helpful,

[@anthonynicholls8010]

Thank you

[@abdallahbukhari4382]

thanks

[@QuestClaimer]

13:39 Wouldn't you need a diode somewhere in this circuit to prevent the current from reaching both loads?

[@crazyforce1102]

what about when I have a switch where there is "on" down motion of a switch, then i have "off" middle position of a switch, and then agian "on" upward motion of a switch. Is that still considered SPDT switch?

[@MaaZy_]

That’s ON-OFF-ON switch. Mostly used in application like a motor, to reverse polarity. Meaning both + - has to go through the switch. It’s alternative of using a relay.

[@mrdeer5585]

Question. With SPDT switch you said we can have 1 input and 2 output. Can I reverse it? Switching between 2 input and have 1 output?

[@HeshamEllaban1]

amazing video thank you

[@mahmoudmetwally8356]

awesome content

[@navenamurugaiyan3948]

Thank you sooo much

[@jorgesamsondy7034]

Is the red rocker switch with 3 terminals spdt? You did not tested it. Does it have a light inside the red rocker switch?

[@rockyrowlands3652]

This video went on for too long and I got bored … so I single poled my brain and switched off. 😂

[@NoobsLikeMeFTW]

This is just a general analysis of language and accents, so please don't take this as a negative comment. To preface, as a USA English speaker I could understand you the whole time. You're first sentence lacked your accent then it gained a little. Do you make a mental note before videos to speak clearly so different English speakers can understand. Again, I heard everything just fine, thanks for the education.

you could have spared me the beeps
