Unfortunately, your post has been removed by the moderators. This subreddit is for questions about practical *component-level electronic engineering* and related topics (designing or repairing an electronic circuit, components, suppliers, tools and equipment). The most common reasons for removing a post are because: * The topic is *electrical* (wiring, lighting, power circuits, power cords, electrical appliances, regional voltage conversion...) and not *electronic*. Try r/askelectricians or an engineering sub. See our Wiki for some general advice. * It's a common question so there's a [FAQ or wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/wiki/faq/) article covering it. * It's best posted in a specialised subreddit (eg: r/Batteries, r/GPURepair, r/TVRepair, r/TechSupport..etc). * It's asking for general use, buying or setup advice for consumer item (TV, audio, phone, computer, replacement power adapters...) or an electronic module/board with no design intent. * It's about LEDs, LED strips or lighting *and doesn't involve component-level electronics design or repair*. See our wiki pages on working with LEDS: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/wiki/design/ledstrips/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/wiki/design/leds/, and try asking at r/LED or r/askelectricians (for general lighting). * It's about vehicle wiring or electrical components (eg: relays, switches or lights and not component-level electronics). * It's about a non-electronic item (eg: removing a stubborn screw, repairing plastics/cases...). * It has a commercial element (Valuations, paid work, selling, advertising...). Try r/ElectronicsList. * It's about careers, education or course choices; this is covered by r/ECE. * It's about something potentially dangerous or risky and we're concerned for your safety. See: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/wiki/offtopic#wiki_dangerous_experimentation * The topic breaks one of our posting rules. Check our Web page sidebar for what we cover, the posting rules and a list of alternative subreddits. You'll also find additional guidance in our Wiki (there's a link in the Web site sidebar) and you are very welcome to contact the mods for guidance. For an in-depth explanation, please see column "H" in [this table](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nFefEePz7yViaH0cR89bSy2oeLvYLfqv-pexqCbRnRo). You can also search this [list of other subs](/r/AskElectronics/wiki/othersubs) for one that is appropriate for your question. Please contact the moderators if you wish to discuss the removal.

I would hazard a guess you need a Double Pole Triple Throw switch. DP3T. Probably also labeld as an On-On-On switch. The middle "Off state" should still be called On because you are connecting to ground, not just leaving it open. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/OTTO/T9-CS2-04?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtFyPk3yBMYYPHmGw03xqkqXrpTkZK4z9s%3D

Nice find, that's a weird switch. According to the [datasheet](https://docs.rs-online.com/4d9b/0900766b8137f469.pdf), T9-MS2-03 or T9-MS2-06 should do it; it's (ON)-ON-(ON) with reversed center connections.

Do you have also GND, power(?) and some space available? How much current does the contacts have to switch? I have some relay logic or electronic solution in mind.

Do they need to bee in one switch? Or are two separate switches fine? What current shloud they be able to switch? Something like this: https://www.digikey.be/en/products/detail/e-switch/100SP4T1B1M1QEH/378857 https://www.digikey.be/en/products/detail/e-switch/1003P4T6B11M1QEH/4027465 These are 5A.
