This DIP switch series is a surface-mount component engineered for reliable manual configuration on printed circuit boards (PCBs), blending traditional functionality with modern assembly requirements. It utilizes convenient slide actuators that offer a familiar and positive tactile feel for each setting. These actuators are designed in a raised profile, elevating them above the switch body to facilitate easy finger access and visual inspection of the switch position, while still maintaining a compact overall form factor.

The switch adheres to the classic 2.54mm (0.1″) pin pitch, ensuring broad compatibility with standard PCB layouts and design conventions. Each individual switch is configured as SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw), functioning as a straightforward on/off mechanism to open or close a single circuit path per position. Constructed as a true surface-mount device (SMD), it features gull-wing or similar solder terminals suitable for high-speed automated pick-and-place equipment and standard reflow soldering processes, eliminating the need for through-hole drilling and manual insertion.

Available in a comprehensive selection from 2 to 12 individual positions, this series provides versatile options for address selection, mode configuration, and hardware setting in various electronic applications. It is rated for low-power operation at DC 24V, 25mA, making it ideal for digital signal routing and logic-level interfacing.

Manufactured to precise dimensional specifications, this series serves as a direct, drop-in replacement for several leading industry-standard models. It is designed to be fully compatible with the Same Sky DS04-254 series (including models such as DS04-254-1-02BK-SMT and DS04-254-1-08BK-SMT), the Würth Elektronik WS-DISV series (models like 418121270804 and 418121270810), and the C&K SD Series (including SD04H1SB and SD08H1SB). This cross-compatibility guarantees easy integration into existing designs and offers reliable secondary sourcing for applications in telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, computer peripherals, and embedded computing platforms where durable and accessible manual configuration is essential.
