DIP Switch Double Row 8 Pin 4 Positions 2.54mm Pitch 20pcs Yohii

Description

Product Overview

The Yohii DIP Switch is engineered for reliability and ease of integration in a wide range of electronic assemblies. Featuring a double‑row configuration with eight pins, the switch provides four distinct on/off positions that can be set manually or programmatically. The 2.54 mm (0.1″) pitch aligns perfectly with standard breadboard and printed circuit board (PCB) layouts, allowing designers to incorporate precise control functions without sacrificing board space.

Each switch unit is constructed from high‑quality, lead‑free alloy contacts that deliver a typical contact resistance of 100 mΩ, ensuring consistent electrical performance over thousands of cycles. The switching rating of 100 mA at 24 VDC (after life test) and a secondary rating of 25 mA at 24 VDC provide flexibility for both low‑power logic circuits and higher‑current control applications. The compact dimensions of 12 mm × 10 mm × 11 mm (L × W × H) make the switch suitable for dense board designs where every millimeter counts.

Designed with a slide‑type actuation mechanism, the switch offers tactile feedback that helps users confirm the selected position quickly. The four positions are clearly marked, reducing the chance of misconfiguration during assembly or field adjustments. The package includes 20 individual switches, giving engineers enough units for prototyping, testing, and small‑scale production runs.

Yohii, the manufacturer, has a reputation for delivering components that meet stringent industrial standards. The DIP Switch is not discontinued, and it has maintained a solid presence in the market since its introduction in August 2018. With a best‑seller rank of #27 in the DIP Switch category, the product has proven its popularity among hobbyists and professionals alike.

Overall, the DIP Switch combines durability, precision, and ease of use, making it a versatile choice for applications ranging from simple toggle functions to complex control logic in industrial equipment, consumer electronics, and educational kits.

Usage

In hobbyist environments, the switch is a go‑to component for breadboard experiments, Arduino projects, and Raspberry Pi add‑ons. Its 2.54 mm pitch aligns with standard prototyping boards, allowing users to quickly insert the switch without the need for custom footprints. The four selectable positions enable developers to create multi‑state inputs, such as mode selectors, configuration bits, or address lines in microcontroller‑based designs.

For professional engineers, the DIP Switch serves as a reliable method for setting hardware options in industrial control panels, instrumentation, and communication equipment. The robust contact rating ensures that the switch can handle the occasional surge or transient that may occur in harsh environments, while the low contact resistance minimizes power loss and heat generation.

Educational institutions benefit from the switch’s clear labeling and tactile operation, which help students understand binary settings and hardware configuration concepts. The inclusion of 20 switches per package provides ample supply for classroom labs, allowing multiple groups to work simultaneously without sharing components.

In field service scenarios, the switch’s durable construction and easy‑to‑read positions make it suitable for on‑site adjustments and troubleshooting. Technicians can quickly set or reset configuration parameters without needing specialized tools, reducing downtime and improving maintenance efficiency.

FAQ

What is the maximum current the switch can handle?

The DIP Switch is rated for a maximum continuous current of 100 mA at 24 VDC after the life test, with a secondary rating of 25 mA at 24 VDC for less demanding applications.

Can the switch be used on a standard 0.1″ (2.54 mm) pitch breadboard?

Yes, the 2.54 mm pitch aligns perfectly with standard breadboards and prototyping boards, allowing easy insertion without additional adapters.

Is the switch suitable for high‑frequency signal switching?

While the switch is designed primarily for low‑frequency control and configuration signals, its low contact resistance makes it suitable for moderate‑speed digital applications. For high‑frequency or RF switching, a specialized RF switch is recommended.

How many switching cycles can the DIP Switch endure?

Yohii tests the switch for at least 10,000 mechanical cycles, ensuring long‑term reliability in both prototype and production environments.

What warranty does the manufacturer provide?

The switch comes with a standard one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Additional support options are available through our technical service team.
