I have working circuit using my breadboard. I used a full size spdt switch to turn the circuit on. I ordered a switch to plug into the board to replace it, but it will not work. Are there more than one type? Andy |

Without any details of what the requirements are... I have used these to switch signals and low current and voltage power lines. https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=EG2459-ND Edit - These have gold contacts if that is a concern. |
| Audioguru:
Most switches are made for high currents at the mains voltage so they have silver contacts. But for low voltage and low currents it fails when it becomes corroded. Therefore I use switches with gold plated contacts for low levels, these switches do not cost more. |

The pinout May be different. Some have the wiper in the middle, some to one side. |

But, in all honesty, you haven't really given us enough information to provide a clear answer to your question. |
