Product Overview
The 1-position DIP (Dual In-line Package) switch is a simple SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) slide switch. It is commonly used on printed circuit boards to allow users to customize the behavior of an electronic device without needing special tools. Whether you are setting a binary address, selecting between 3.3V/5V logic, or simply adding a tiny manual trigger to your circuit, this switch provides a reliable and space-saving solution.
Layout & Mounting
Single Channel: Features one individual slide switch that can be set to the ON or OFF position.
Standard Footprint: Two pins located at a 0.1″ (2.54mm) pitch, allowing it to plug directly into breadboards or standard perf-boards.
Top Actuation: The slide mechanism is recessed to prevent accidental switching while remaining easy to toggle with a fingernail or small screwdriver.
