In electronics, SPDT refers to a particular type of switch; a "Single Pole Double Throw" style. Other flavors I think you may recognize now are SPST, DPDT, and TPDT.
It breaks down like this; the "Pole" count (single, double, triple, etc.) refers to the number of switch contact sets that are connected to the switch lever. The "Throw" count refers to the number of positions the switch lever is designed to be set to.
Light switches in your house are SPST switches.

What What is the difference between a humidistat and a dehumidistat?
The difference is the relay operation.Normally opened or normally closed.If you add an external spdt relay,you could have a humidistat/dehumidistat.
What is paper used for today?
paper is used for writing on and can also be used for oragamy
When was science used or is being used to make decisions?
It's used when predicting the weather, learning about what happened on the earth before there were humans, its used in computers, its used to learn more about the human body. Science is used for A LOT!

spearmint is some times used for toothpast and can even be used for eating
What is meant by SPDT?
In electronics, an SPDT is a type of switch. It stands for "Single Pole, Double Throw." In America, it's known as a three-way switch.
What does SPDT stand for?
Single Pole Double Throw
Can i use a DPDT relay in replase of a SPDT relay. can i use it but wire it up in a way that it would work the same way as a SPDT or can i not?
yes, just ignore the second pole that you don't need.
If a switch has two throws and switches only one wire is known as a?
spdt
What are the uses of spst and spdt switches?
A SPST switch is the type used for turning the lights on and off in your home lighting systems. It is just basically just an on - off switch.
What does spdt switch stand for?
Single-pole, double-throw. The switch directs a single input to two possible outputs.
What does DPDT identify?
DPDT stands for Double pole, double throw. This is the equivalent to two SPDT switches controlled by a single mechanism.
What What is the difference between a humidistat and a dehumidistat?
The difference is the relay operation.Normally opened or normally closed.If you add an external spdt relay,you could have a humidistat/dehumidistat.
What does a push switch do in a circuit?
it starts a circuit by connecting the circuit and the initials are ptm and its a spdt switch
Wire a three-way switch One light controlled by two switches- similar to a hall ligt. SPDT switches?
yes like a hall light.
Wiring diagram electromagnetic relay?
Relays come in many different packages. There are SPST relays, SPDT, DPDT. Check the link below to see all the relay wiring diagrams.
What is the main purpose of SPDT and DPDT switches?
The number of poles refers to how may separate signals or if you will, wires you switch when the switch is activated or deactivated. For example your typical light switch just switches the hot wire and turns the light on or off and is called a SPST switch. The SPDT switches a signal to either of two circuits. So for example, if you had hot connected to the input and a light connected to each output (Throw), you would have one light on and one off and each time you throw the switch the lights switch which is off and which is on. The DPDT can switch two separate signals at the same time and each goes to one of two separate circuits. If you had two separate breakers and four light bulbs you could hook up one breaker hot to one pole and the other breaker to the second pole. If you had four light bulbs each connected to each of two switch outputs, then one bulb from each breaker would be on and when switched the other bulb on each breaker would be on. For diagrams just search for SPDT and DPDT.
