This 2 position rotary switch is a DPDT (see link). Would be interested in using as an On/Off switch. How do I wire it? My experience is limited to SPST toggles.I want to take the the hot pin of IEC inlet to a fuseholder, and from fuseholder to this Switch, and then from switch to positive lead of transformer. I want to take the neutral on IEC inlet direct to neutral lead of transformer, and IEC earth to chassis ground. Can I wire this DPDT in this arrangement and, if so, how? It has 6 pins. It's rated 5amps.
