hybrid SPST switch

[SavannahLion]

This sounds crazy but....

Has there ever been a hybrid momentary/toggle switch?

For example let's say you have a SPST toggle slide switch but push down and it's a momentary SPST switch?

Been trying to see if such a thing existed.

A bit like the car audio knobs. Twist for a digital pot push for the SPST.

How about a 3-position toggle/rocker switch with one position being on, one position being off, and the third position being momentary-on?

Momentary-on is indicated by either parentheses "(on)" or abbreviated as "Mom On" or "mom-on".

Amazon has these "Round Paddle Lever Momentary Toggle Switch - SPDT / On - Off - (On)" switches.



Sigma switches lists "1N= SPDT on/off/mom-on" rocker switches -- no idea who stocks them, though.   



Another possible option is something like a 59071 Mom On-On-Off double pole ignition/start toggle switch, depending on the application.

Kind of like a stick on an xbox controller?

Thanks PL1. I've seen and used those but I was thinking something along the lines of a maintained on/off switch with a momentary push button in either state. I imagine the actual circuit would be something like a DPST where on SPST is momentary and the other SPST is not.

I see hints of such a switch on Alibaba but Mandarin isn't one of my strong suits.

Pretty much Behrmr but without the analog component.

Got it!

A buzzer on/buzzer off/momentary start switch from a clothes dryer.   

Whirlpool 3395385 or similar.
