DPDT: Switching Two Circuits in Two Directions

DPDT stands for Double Pole Double Throw. It operates like two SPDT switches that toggle together. Each pole has two output paths, and both circuits can be wired as either normally open or normally closed. 

This is useful when your system needs more flexibility or when redundancy is a factor. In some applications, having two poles helps reduce the risk of failure by allowing the switch to operate as a backup system if needed. 

Design-wise, DPST and DPDT are similar, but DPDT offers more wiring options without needing a different switch body.
