This DIP (Dual In-line Package) switch series is engineered for precise manual configuration on printed circuit boards (PCBs), offering a robust and intuitive interface for setting hardware parameters. A defining feature of this series is its use of distinct piano actuators, providing a positive tactile response and easy fingertip control. The actuators are designed with a raised level, creating a physical barrier that significantly reduces the risk of accidental actuation during handling or maintenance, enhancing overall system reliability.

The switches maintain the industry-standard 2.54mm (0.1″) pin pitch, ensuring perfect compatibility with standard PCB layouts and breadboards. Each switch element is configured as SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw), functioning as a simple on/off mechanism for each individual circuit path. Designed for secure installation, the series features a through-hole, right-angle mounting style. This design allows the switch body to sit parallel to the board surface, minimizing vertical profile and saving valuable space, while the bent leads are soldered directly into the PCB for a strong mechanical and electrical connection.

Available in a comprehensive range from 2 to 12 individual positions, this series provides flexibility for a wide array of binary configuration needs, from simple address setting to complex function selection. It is rated for low-voltage, low-current applications at DC 24V, 25mA, making it suitable for digital logic and signal routing tasks.

Constructed with precise dimensions, this DIP switch series serves as a direct, plug-compatible replacement for leading industry equivalents. It is designed to work as an excellent alternative to the E-Switch KAP Series (including models KAP1102E through KAP1112E) and the CUI Devices Same Sky DS02-254 series (such as DS02C-254-1L-02BE through DS02C-254-1L-12BE). This cross-compatibility ensures seamless integration into existing designs and simplifies the sourcing process, offering a reliable solution for applications in telecommunications, industrial controls, test equipment, and computer motherboards where dependable manual configuration is essential.
