SPDT Toggle Switch Wiring Diagram - How It Works & Connection Guide #256580 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration depicts a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) toggle switch, where the central lever connects one common terminal to either of two output terminals. In the OFF position (top), no circuit is completed; when flipped down to ON, the common terminal connects to the lower contacts, completing the circuit via the red and blue wires shown. The yellow conductive paths indicate internal metal contacts and terminals.
