Go and read HERE to find out more about switches

BTW, the name of the switch is Dual-Pole Dual-Throw (DPDT) but the picture that I showed there is a special one, Triple-Pole Triple-Throw (this switch is not normal ) For the application of turning the 5V and 12V simultaneously, the DPDT would do the job.

They do come in Push-Button style if you prefer it that way. Here's a pic. looks nice eh!

thanks Shah81...... master of electronic !!!!

Quick question, since I buta huruf over here...is there any standard markings for switches so I know what Im getting?

it's either something like this switch thing or an e-sata solution for my next rig.

There are no standard markings for switches. Different manufacturers use different markings. If you buy them online or from shops, you have to know their names (DPDT, DPST, Push-Button, Rocker Switch...ETC). Look at my last post above. There's a link to learn more about switches.

how do we make a circuit which runs entirely on relay. electronics noob here. i plan to use it on my2nd psu so when i power up one. the other will run too.

1. This is out of topic.
