In doing so, you will have the spring loaded center position of OFF, then the left momentary position of onA and the right momentary position of both onA and onB. Now wire the 'onB' on the B part of the switch in the (right) position only. If you wire A to provide you with your 'onA' in both the left and right positions, then if you press the switch left or right onA is turned ON, but in the center position it is OFF. A DPDT switch is two SPDT switches in the same package. This will work IF you can live with the center position as OFF and then use the (left and right) positions as onA and both onA and onB. However you can use a standard DPDT (ON) OFF (ON) momentary switch to get what you want, or close to it anyway. They are also available on and most electronic supply houses.
