Help with CTS 250K Push/Pull pot

Hi, I recently bought a 250K CTS Push/Pull pot, that'll be used to split the coils of a strat with Duncans (Cool Rails/Vintage Rails/Hot Rails).

The problem is...I don't know how to relate this pot with the one in the Duncan website wiring diagrams.

This is the diagram I'm using: http://www.seymourduncan.com/suppor...atics.php?schematic=3lil_hum_1v_2t_5w_3splits

and this is the pot (with terminals saying c1, 1, 2, 3, 4, C2)

I'm a total noob when it comes to wiring, so anyone willing to help, as in what colored wire goes where, would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

The PCB is a new one on me but the six pre-soldered contacts are identical the arrangement that you see in the SD schematic diagrams.

As you know, the switch is a Double Pole, Double Throw. The contact labelled C1 is the Common (always on) contact for pole 1. Similarly, C2 is the Common contact for pole 2.

For your proposed circuit, run a link wire between terminals 1 and 3. Run a link from terminal 3 to ground via the chassis of the pot. Connect the red/white pair of conductors from the bridge position pickup to terminal C1. Connect the red/white pair of conductors from the neck position pickup to terminal C2.
