Maybe I don't understand switch terminology, but I thought SPST means single
throw (2 positions, ie. on-off) and SPDT means double-throw (3 positions, ie.
on-off-on).
Yes, but double-throw can also be on-on ; it depends if it has a stop
(detent) in the middle for the off position.
This catalog page show many switches with both terms, but mixing xST
with 2- and 3-positions. Same with xDT term.

Is my understanding incorrect? Or is this page all screwed up?
What, you worry? ;-P
This might help visualize switch terminology:

Good Luck!
