If you have ever had a momentary control button fail mid-project — or spent hours hunting for a compact, reliable mini toggle switch that actually fits your enclosure — you know how frustrating sourcing the right part can be. Hobbyists, makers, and automotive enthusiasts building custom control panels need a switch that responds instantly, mounts cleanly, and holds up through repeated use.
This listing includes 10 pieces of the MTS-123 mini SPDT toggle switch, each featuring a 3-pin solder lug terminal configuration and a compact metal bushing for panel mounting. The switches are rated at 5A / 125V AC (typically derated to 2A at 250V AC) and operate in a 3-position (ON)-OFF-(ON) configuration — both outer positions are momentary (spring-return to center OFF). The bushing diameter is typically 6mm (approx 1/4"), fitting standard pre-drilled panel holes. Sold as a 10-pack to cover a full build or keep spares on hand.
These mini toggle switches are a natural fit for DIY electronics control panels, RC car and truck wiring harnesses, model railroad layouts, amateur radio accessory switching, and custom automotive dash builds where a momentary-action SPDT toggle switch is needed in a tight space.

For most DIY control panels and enclosures, a mini toggle switch with a bushing diameter of typically 6mm (approx 1/4") fits standard pre-drilled holes. Measure your panel cutout before ordering. If you are replacing an existing switch, match the thread diameter and bushing length of the original part to ensure a clean fit without enlarging the hole.
This switch is rated at 5A at 125V AC. For 250V AC circuits, the rating is generally derated to 2A. For 12V DC automotive accessory circuits, these switches are typically suitable for loads up to 5A DC, though DC ratings can vary — verify your specific load before wiring. Do not exceed the rated values.
The MTS-123 mini toggle switch is not rated for outdoor or waterproof use in its standard form. For outdoor or high-moisture applications, a weatherproof rubber boot cover (sold separately) is typically recommended to protect the switch mechanism from moisture, dust, and debris.
The parentheses indicate a momentary position. In an (ON)-OFF-(ON) switch, the two outer positions activate only while the lever is held — releasing it causes the lever to spring back to the center OFF position. This differs from ON-OFF-ON, where all three positions are latching. Use (ON)-OFF-(ON) for momentary actions like horn triggers, jog controls, or pulse signals.
The MTS-123 mini toggle switch typically uses a metric M6 or standard 1/4"-40 UNS threaded bushing for panel mounting. Check your panel hole specification to confirm compatibility. If you need exact thread confirmation for a specific application, contact us before ordering.
The center pin is the Common (COM) terminal. The two outer pins are the Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) terminals. When the lever is thrown to one side, COM connects to that terminal. In the center OFF position, COM is disconnected from both. Always verify pin assignments with a multimeter before soldering.
These switches are widely used in DIY electronics control panels, RC car and truck wiring harnesses, model railroad layouts, amateur radio accessory switching, custom automotive dash builds, and small appliance modifications. Their compact MTS-123 form factor makes them a go-to choice for space-constrained enclosures where a reliable momentary SPDT toggle is needed.
