DIP Switch: Right-Angle, Slide-Actuated, SPST Configuration

This DIP switch series is a compact and highly reliable component designed for setting configuration parameters on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Featuring a standard 2.54mm (0.1-inch) pin pitch, it ensures universal compatibility with breadboards and standard PCB layouts. Each individual switch functions as a Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) device, making or breaking a single circuit per position for straightforward binary control.

The switch is designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting. This design allows the switch body to sit parallel to the PCB, conserving vertical space, while its pins are inserted into the board and soldered for a robust mechanical and electrical connection. Actuation is performed via a convenient slide actuator, offering a positive tactile feel. To prevent accidental operation, the actuators feature a raised actuator level, providing a physical barrier that requires deliberate intent to move.

Available in a versatile range from 2 to 12 individual positions, this series offers flexibility for applications requiring varying numbers of settings. It is rated for low-power signal applications at DC 24V, 25mA. The switch boasts robust dimensions and construction, ensuring it performs as a direct, form-fit-function replacement for leading industry-standard series, specifically the E-Switch KAS Series (models KAS2101ET through KAS2112ET), the Same Sky DS03 series (models DS03-254-02BE through DS03-254-12BE), and the C&K BD Series (models BD02AV through BD12AV). This cross-compatibility guarantees easy integration and replacement in existing designs without board modification.

Ideal for applications in telecommunications, industrial controls, computer peripherals, and consumer electronics, this DIP switch series provides a durable and cost-effective solution for manual PCB configuration.
