a separate contact: single pole switches have one contact, double pole two, etc.
throws in a switch are the number of ways the switch may be set.
- SPST - one contact that can only be turned on/off.
- SPDT - one contact that can be switched two ways.
- 6P4T - six contacts that can be switched four ways, usually a rotary switch.
- etc.

yes
What is difference between single pole and double pole switch?
A single pole switch interrupts only one wire, which must be the live wire. A double pole switch interrupts both the live and the neutral, so it contains two separate switches operated by the same lever. Current practice is to use single-pole switches, to avoid a fault condition which could leave equipment live while switched off.

The "sw" is electrical terminology for the word "switch". A single pole switch is one that opens the circuit when in the off position and closes the circuit when in the on position. Individual switches that turn on light fixtures in your home are in the classification of single pole switches.

What is the difference between double pole and triple pole?
A single-pole switch is an on/off switch that switches a single wire such as the circuit to your overhead light. A double pole switch is also an on/off switch that switches two wires. You would use this to switch as 240 volt circuit (which requires two hot wires) or if you had two circuit you wanted to switch at the same time. I've used them when I had two large light circuits that required two breakers that I wanted to switch with one switch.
