Double Row Dip Switch 8-Position 2.54mm Pitch 16-Pin 10pcs Yohii

Description

Product Overview

The Yohii Double Row Dip Switch is engineered to deliver precise, reliable switching in a compact form factor. Featuring eight selectable positions arranged in two rows, each switch offers a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch and a total of 16 pins, making it compatible with standard breadboards, PCBs, and prototyping platforms. The switches are supplied in a 10‑piece set, providing ample inventory for batch production, repair kits, or hobbyist projects. Constructed from high‑quality, lead‑free plastic with gold‑plated contacts, the unit meets a non‑switching rating of 100 mA at 50 V DC and a switching rating of 25 mA at 24 V DC, ensuring consistent performance even under demanding electrical loads. The contact resistance starts at 50 mΩ at initial connection and stabilizes around 100 mΩ after the life test, delivering low‑loss signal paths for sensitive circuits.

Usage

Designed for a broad range of applications, this dip switch excels in industrial control panels, automation equipment, and instrumentation where reliable state selection is critical. Engineers frequently integrate the switch into programmable logic controller (PLC) interfaces, motor control circuits, and safety interlock systems. Its compact size and standardized pitch also make it a favorite among hobbyists building Arduino or Raspberry Pi shields, custom remote‑control devices, and experimental test rigs. The 10‑piece packaging ensures that developers can populate multiple boards without worrying about component shortages, while the robust construction tolerates repeated toggling, making it suitable for both prototype validation and long‑term deployment.

FAQ

What is the maximum current the switch can handle?

The dip switch is rated for a non‑switching current of 100 mA at 50 V DC and a switching current of 25 mA at 24 V DC, making it suitable for low‑power control and signaling applications.

Can the switch be used on a solderless breadboard?

Yes, the 2.54 mm pitch aligns perfectly with standard breadboard rows, allowing quick prototyping without the need for soldering.

Is the switch compatible with both 5 V and 3.3 V logic levels?

Absolutely. The switch’s low contact resistance and voltage rating make it safe for use with common logic levels, including 5 V, 3.3 V, and even 12 V systems.

How many times can the switch be toggled before it fails?

Yohii designs the switch for thousands of actuation cycles. While exact cycle counts can vary based on operating conditions, the switch is built to exceed typical industry durability standards.
