cross section of a push-on, push-off switch. how many poles do you think it has?

12?

Two, north and south? Idk , that's why *I'm* here to get *your* explanations, TT....

haha. it's a double-pole switch (two sets of contacts, one on the upper part and one on the lower part). each pole has three contacts.

Thank you!

My understanding of electrical parts is... thin. I think I'm learning from your posts; I'm definitely enjoying them.

How many poles does a magnet have? A North Pole from Gdansk and a South Pole from Krakow.

Looks like 2, one at top and one at bottom

Looks like two poles, from here. Double pole, double throw, or DPDT.

I would guess two, but I have a sneaky feeling you're going to surprise us and that somehow the other side of the switch looks like a millipede.

I'm also expecting a surprise but I guessed the other direction, that the sides are commoned together.
