Mysteries of the on-on-on DPDT

[GGBB]

Perhaps sub-minis, but not minis which are pictured in my post. That's why you clearly see the pots sitting off the board in the first picture. Here some dimensions, though the plastic cap that comes on the Tayda pots is not included into the dimensions, so add another 2mm there. Keep in mind, there are extrusions on the lug side of the toggle that make so the switch sits a tad higher than the actual dimension. Also, you don't want to be installing a toggle with out a nut on the backside of the enclosure. Cinching the nut on the outside, without the nut on the inside, can actually rip the bushing right off the switch. As such, this raises the deck height of the switch to above the 16mm pot's deck height.

Thanks. Makes sense now that I know you are using backside nuts on the toggles - that's what I do too. I was confused because I thought you said you were using those subminis that were linked.

i've made that mistake before, once with a pot, too. never again!

Been there, done that.  <sigh>
