Does the 3PDT switch have an orientation? I read somewhere that wiring is based on something like this:

- - - (throw 1)
- - - (common)
- - - (throw 2)

Does this mean that the only requirement is that the pins are wider in the left-right orientation only?

Also, how does the switch work? Does the top left throw only feed to the bottom left throw (etc), thus in effect the 3PDT becomes three on/off combinations combined into one button?

You can look at it as three SPDT switches in one housing. Each is isolated from the other. I dont have one in front of me but from memory I think the pins are in a symmetric array. The solder pins are flat and run horizontal to the switch orientation.
