Abstract

In a multi-pole, double-throw switch, three multi-terminal device connectors are coupled to a printed circuit board, along with two header connectors and a movable array. A pcb trace electrically couples each terminal of each device connector to one or more corresponding contacts at the header connectors. The movable is movable between a first throw position in which a first header connector is engaged, and a second throw position in which a second header connector is engaged. In the first throw position, each terminal of a first of the three device connectors is electrically connected to a corresponding terminal of a second of the three device connectors. In the second throw position, each terminal of the first of the three device connectors is electrically connected to a corresponding terminal of a third of the three device connectors.
