Product type
A DIP switch, or Dual In-line Package switch, is a manual electrical switch that is packaged in a standard dual in-line package. It consists of multiple individual switches that can be toggled on or off to configure electronic devices. Typically made from plastic and metal components, DIP switches are commonly used in circuit boards to set configurations for various electronic devices and systems.
| Number of switches | 2 to 12 switches per unit |
| Contact rating | 10 mA to 100 mA at 12V DC |
| Mounting type | Through-hole or surface mount |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to +85°C |
| Switch type | Single pole or double pole |
When choosing a DIP switch, consider the number of switches required for your application and the contact rating to ensure compatibility with your circuit. It's also important to specify the mounting type based on your PCB design. Additionally, check for any necessary certifications or environmental ratings, especially if the switch will be used in harsh conditions. Quantities can vary based on production needs, so be clear about your requirements when requesting a quote.
