Product Overview
The 6-position DIP (Dual In-line Package) switch from Pro Tronix is an essential component for projects requiring multiple user-selectable settings. Each of the six switches operates independently, allowing for up to 64 different binary combinations. This makes it ideal for setting device IDs, selecting communication baud rates, or toggling various software features on microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.
