Hi all,

I'm hoping that someone can help me identify a part type/name, based 
on its description.

At some point, I'm sure that I've come across a toggle switch that 
was a combination on/off and momentary. In other words, a three-way 
switch where "up" is on, "middle" is off, and "down" is a spring-
loaded momentary on that returns to off when it's released.

I can't for the life of me recall what this is called, though I 
suspect there will be some forehead slapping involved if someone 
tells me.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Mike

SPDT, with center off and momentary. This is sometimes written as ON-OFF- (ON)

Aha - thank you! That makes perfect sense.
