2-Way DIP Slide Switch | 2.54mm Pitch | Through-Hole | Pack of 5

Description

The 2-Way DIP (Dual In-line Package) Slide Switch is a compact and highly reliable configuration component designed for seamless PCB mounting. Featuring a standard 2.54mm pitch, this switch is perfectly compatible with breadboards, perfboards, and standard electronic prototyping platforms. It allows for easy, manual setting of logic states, configuration parameters, or addressing in a wide variety of electronic circuits.

Widely used by engineers and hobbyists, this slide switch is ideal for setting CPU modulation, configuring wireless communication devices, managing software programming in automated machinery, and controlling parameters in NC (Numerical Control) equipment, instruments, and metering systems. With 2 independent channels, it provides a simple yet effective solution for binary configuration tasks in a space-efficient form factor.
