Description
The HC-38 DIP Switch is a versatile 5-way dual-in-line package (DIP) switch designed for reliable circuit control and configuration. Engineered for performance, these switches are constructed from high-grade PBT material meeting UL 94 V-0 standards for fire safety, and feature a sealed design to ensure longevity in various operating environments. Recessed actuator versions are further protected by sealing tape to prevent contamination during soldering.
Ideally suited for PCB mounting, this through-hole switch offers a standard 2.54mm pitch, making it highly compatible with breadboards and standard prototyping layouts. With a robust lifespan of 2,000 operations and an operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C, the HC-38 provides consistent signal integrity and durability for demanding industrial and consumer electronic applications.

Key Features
- Durable Construction: Built with UL 94 V-0 rated PBT and sealed for protection against environmental factors.
- Standardized Layout: 5-way configuration with a 2.54mm pitch, perfect for through-hole PCB assembly.
- High Electrical Integrity: Low contact resistance (<100 mΩ) and high insulation resistance (>100 mΩ) ensure stable signal paths.
- Reliable Performance: Capable of handling up to 50 VDC at 150 mA, with a 2,000-operation life expectancy.
- Safety First: Tested for 500 VAC (1 minute) to ensure operational safety.
Benefits
- Secure Configuration: Slide positions are factory-set to the ‘OFF’ position to prevent accidental engagement during installation.
- Easy Prototyping: The through-hole mounting type makes this an excellent choice for custom hardware logic and interface design.
- Wide Operational Range: Suitable for use in diverse temperatures, from -20°C to +80°C.
Applications
- Address Setting: Ideal for setting DIP addresses on communication and networking hardware.
- Mode Selection: Useful for configuring operational modes in industrial controllers and household appliances.
- Custom Prototyping: A fundamental, high-quality component for custom PCB builds and hobbyist electronics.
