Double-Pole Switch
Product Code : SCL-PL-12369
Double-Pole Switch (SKU SCL-PL-12369) is a two-pole switch rated 24 V, 2 A that switches both lines of a circuit at once, controlling whether the circuit is on or off or which way the current flows. It suits student electricity practicals, project boards and demonstration panels in schools, polytechnics and training institutes. Science Lab Supplies, a physics instruments supplier in India, sends it from Ambala to schools, colleges, training institutes, distributors and tender contractors.
Specifications
The switch has two poles operated together and is rated at 24 V and 2 A, which matches low-voltage student circuits. Its snap-in panel-mount housing clips into a rectangular cutout, so it can be fitted into a demonstration board, a circuit panel or a student project enclosure without separate fixings.

Applications and Experiments for the Double-Pole Switch
In the lab the switch lets students open both supply lines together, or reverse the current through a load, without unplugging leads. Wired as a reversing switch, it shows how the direction of current changes the deflection of a meter, the poles of an electromagnet or the turning direction of a small motor.
- Class 10 science: electric circuits, and the magnetic effect of current with reversed direction.
- Class 12 physics: reversing current in electromagnetism and meter experiments.
- ITI electrician and electronics trades: wiring practice with two-pole switching on a panel.
- Student projects and demonstration boards built as an electricity and magnetism lab kit for schools.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Double-Pole Switch is supplied as a single unit as described above, in its snap-in panel-mount housing. Panels, wires and other circuit parts are not part of the item; if you need them, list them in your enquiry and they appear as separate lines on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Switches can be quoted singly for a repair or in quantity for a full set of student circuit boards. Each quotation from Science Lab Supplies gives the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and lamps, resistors or supplies can be quoted on the same sheet.
With an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Enquiries go through the contact page or the enquiry cart, and the lab tender page explains tender quoting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the rating of this Double-Pole Switch?
It is rated 24 V, 2 A. Use it only in low-voltage circuits within that rating, such as student circuits fed from a laboratory low-voltage supply, and never on mains wiring.
How is the switch mounted?
It has a snap-in panel-mount housing that clips into a rectangular cutout in a board or panel, so it can be fitted into demonstration boards and student project enclosures.
Who supplies the Double-Pole Switch?
Science Lab Supplies supplies this switch from Ambala, India. It can be sent on its own or together with other physics lab items, all listed on one quotation for your school, college or tender.
