What is an on on on toggle switch?

An "on-on-on" toggle switch is a type of electrical switch that has three positions or states: "on," "off," and "on." It is commonly used in various electronic and electrical devices to control the flow of electricity or to select different modes or options.

In the "on-on-on" configuration, the switch has a lever or toggle that can be moved between three positions. When the lever is in the center position, the switch is in the "off" state, and the electrical circuit is open, meaning that no current flows through it. When the lever is moved to one side, it activates one set of contacts, and the switch is in the first "on" state, allowing current to flow through a specific part of the circuit. When the lever is moved to the other side, it activates a different set of contacts, and the switch is in the second "on" state, enabling current flow through a different part of the circuit.

The "on-on-on" toggle switch is often used in applications where multiple options or functions need to be selected, such as audio equipment, guitar pedals, electronic instruments, or industrial control panels. By toggling the switch between its three positions, the user can choose between different modes, configurations, or routing options depending on the specific device or system in which it is used.
