Difference between limit switch contact types: 10A@240VAC and 5A@220VAC

I have a gentle question: can these two be used interchangeably? Also, what is the difference between SPDT and DPDT? Thank you everyone!

SPDT: Single pole double throw – one switch with two contacts, NC+NO. DPDT: Double pole double throw – two switches with two pairs of contacts each (2x NC+NO). The contact rating of 10A@240VAC means that it can handle a load of 240VAC at 10A; the same applies to the other parameter as well.

Hello! Thank you for your reply. The data sheet specifies 5A@220VAC, but the quote specifies 10A@240VAC. Does the value specified in the quote meet the requirements of the data sheet?
