| 3 Channel toggle switch Wire digram needed
OK I have a Futaba 3 channel with just a 2 way switch I'm unsure on how to wire the toggle switch I'm guessing the toggle switch i have has 3 prongs on it so it would be red on1. 2 leave alone and 3 on black. the 3rd channel 2 way switch has 6 prongs, so i just need a wire digram to figure it out thanks oh yea its for winch controll I looked on the search and seen the spectrum channel one but was kinda lost on it thanks. |

Ummm...which Futaba 3 channel? There are several. As to "3 prongs" vs. "6 prongs" usually means, the 1st one is a "single pole double throw" vs. the 2nd one is a "double pole double throw". Basically the 2nd switch type is 2 of the 1st one. Generally, the center prong is "common" and then you "switch" to either of the outer prongs. |

The power wire should go to the middle prong. The other 2 wires need to go to the outer prongs. Beyond that, maybe LosiKid can help out. |

When i get some time i'll try and see if i can locate a toggle that will give you a 3way. Or if you don't want to mod your radio, i sell adapters that will convert 2 pos signals from a radio into 3 position on the rx side. IF you already have a winch controller. If you don't have a winch controller heyok sells a 2 pos winch controller. | |

Is this the switch you are looking for? Single Pole, Double Throw, Center Off http://www.rpelectronics.com/451-303...on-off-on.html |

| +1, from the description it appears to be more of a "staged" switch. Each "toggle" adds in another circuit......I may be incorrect though..... |
