SALECOM 3pcs DPDT 6 Pin 3 Way ON/ON/ON Mini Toggle Switches - Compact

In this review of the SALECOM 3pcs DPDT 6 Pin 3 Way ON/ON/ON Mini Toggle Switches, the bottom line is simple: these are compact, serviceable toggle switches for small electronics and instrument projects where space and reliable mechanical switching matter. The reviewer found them best suited to guitar and amp hobbyists or DIY car/boat panels who need a true DPDT 3-position ON/ON/ON configuration. They are not fancy components but they deliver solid mechanical action and the listed electrical ratings, making them a practical replacement or spare in tight installations.

Key Features

• Threaded bushing height: 5/16' bushing height provides a low-profile mounting option for thin panels while keeping the switch accessible.
• Bushing diameter: 1/4' diameter fits small instrument or electronics cutouts commonly used on guitars and amps.
• Cavity depth: 5/8' cavity depth means the switch body stays compact behind a panel and is suitable for cramped cavities.
• 3-position DPDT action: The ON/ON/ON wiring gives versatile routing or phase-reverse options for pickups, amps, or signal routing tasks.
• Included hardware: Each switch ships with a flat nut and a lockwasher so you can mount securely without buying extras.
• Electrical rating: Rated at 3A 250VAC and 5A 125VAC, they handle common low-voltage audio and control currents found in hobby electronics.

Who It's For

These mini toggle switches are aimed at DIY musicians, luthiers, amp builders, and hobby electronics tinkerers who need a compact DPDT 3-way solution. The small 1/4' bushing and 5/8' cavity depth make them especially useful for electric guitar control cavities, pedal enclosures, and tight dash panels in cars or boats where space is limited.

Those who need heavy-duty industrial switches, weatherproofing, or sealed marine-grade parts should look elsewhere, since these are basic mechanical switches intended for interior use and standard low-current applications.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact profile and moderate cavity depth that fit many guitar and amp cavities.
• True DPDT 3-position ON/ON/ON function that allows wiring flexibility for reversing, routing, or selecting circuits.
• Comes with mounting hardware (flat nut and lockwasher) so installation is straightforward.
• Clear electrical ratings suitable for typical audio and control circuits.

Cons

• Not intended for harsh environments or moisture exposure, so marine or outdoor use requires caution.
• The small size means the mechanical feel is utilitarian rather than premium tactile feedback.
