DPDT Switch for Pauper

[ericrudd]

Hey folks...this will be my first build ever, so be kind. I'm having trouble sourcing the DPDT switch for the Pauper project. Does the plan call for lug or PCB pin? I'm assuming it should be a "mini" style toggle? I'm sorry to use your Googling instead of my own, but I don't want to get the wrong thing. Thanks in advance.

Actually, now that I look at a photo of a finished build, it looks like a lug type switch. Can someone confirm?

Yes it is lug type

Hey there, welcome!

You need an on-off-on DPDT. These board will fit solder lugs on switches, so your best bet is something like this: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/momentary-mini-toggle-switch-dpdt-on-off-on.html

Except not a momentary

Woops! My bad!

Yep, you don't want momentary for this.

Twebb, unless I can hold the toggle in place with my toe!
Thanks, guys!!!
