How do I hook up this DPDT ON/ON switch?

Hey guys,

I'm following this build:

The DPDT ON/ON I have as six poles.

The diagram shows wires for A1, A2, B1, B2 on the switch. Can someone explain this for me? Which poles am I going to, and which am I leaving out?

The switch is being used as a DPST (on/off). Here' how to look at it:

A1     B1
A2     B2
A3     B3

For this circuit, leave A3 and B3 unconnected.

Terminology:
Pole: An individual circuit being controlled by the switch.
Your DPDT has two poles (DP=double pole), each with 3 lugs, for a total of 6 lugs. A1,A2,A3 are one pole. B1,B2,B3 are the other pole.

Throw: One possible connections that the common lug can connect to for each pole. (A2 is the common lug for the A pole, B2 is the common lug for the B pole.)
Your DPDT has two throws (DT=double throw). In one throw, lugs 1 and 2 are connected. In the other throw, lugs 2 and 3 are connected.

Hope this helps.

Induction said it very clearly,  but if in any doubt test it with continuity test on your multimeter.
It's a good way to learn and have some fun.
