little dpdt question

[snufkin]

hi i use 3pdt all the time but im building this



im using up old parts someone gave me

and i have an old school x wing dpdt

im a little stumped on how to orientate the x wing so it matches the diagram of the dpdt  (is it even that simple)

[snufkin]

like  one of these

i guess i just need to find out what lugs connect on a normal non stomp dpdt switch and then what the equivalents are on an x wing stomp switch

[brother numsi]

orientate it with two rows of three, either way works.
made sense?

[snufkin]

that does make sense but



if you look here there is only one way it can be orientated like that and thats how i have it wired now (as the diagram above shows)

and thats not right as the lugs are not connected in the same way as a dpdt like this (or so i suspect )

thanks

If you want to make sure for yourself, get a multimeter and check continuity between lugs when the switch is in either position.
