spdt switch

(1/7) > >>

fixit7:
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?

Without any details of what the requirements are...
I have used these to switch signals and low current and voltage power lines.

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.

There are thousands of different types of switches, but for any given style, there can be a variety of configurations.

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