I need to switch 2 wires to 3 different sets of 2 wires or even 3 wires to 3 sets of 3 wires and I need to make sure that at no time can any of the sets of wires be connected at the same time, hope that is clear, does a switch exist that can do this, part number or supplier would be great if anyone knows it.
If not is there a very simple circuit that can handle this?
Thanks in advance.

Actually, I think All Electronics is nearly in your backyard (nope, you're north, not south - doh)...? Look around online for "DP3T" switch, you might even find a rotary version...
However, you should look around in your area - there are quite a few surplus outlets in the San Jose area (being silicon valley and all) - undoubtedly you should be able to find something...
There are 10 different types to chose from here:-
CR0SH: Yup thats pretty close to what I was looking for thanks. Yeah there are a bunch of suppliers here, I wish allelectronics was in my backyard ;D
Grumpy_Mike: Spot on, I should have been more specific, thats pretty much the switch I have in a previous version of the circuit, ripped it from an old canabalized mackey eight channel mixer from the 70s but needed a similar thing (non rotary, non huge, in a slide or or throw) in a breadboard size.
Thanks guys I dont know why but I just couldnt for the life of me get the right term to find what I was looking for.
