uxcell 250VAC 3A 125VAC 6A DPDT Slide Switch 6 Pin 2 Position Silver

Description

Product Overview

The uxcell DPDT slide switch is engineered for demanding industrial environments where reliability, durability, and precise control are paramount. Featuring a robust double‑pole double‑throw (DPDT) configuration, this switch delivers seamless switching between two independent circuits, allowing users to manage complex electrical systems with confidence. The switch is rated for 250VAC at 3 amps and 125VAC at 6 amps, providing flexibility for a variety of voltage and current requirements. Its six metal pins ensure solid, low‑resistance connections, while the silver‑tone plastic housing offers both aesthetic appeal and resistance to wear, corrosion, and impact. Designed for panel‑mount applications, the compact form factor (35 × 13 × 18 mm) fits neatly into dense control panels, and the 2‑position, 6‑pin layout simplifies wiring and reduces installation time.

Manufactured by uxcell, a trusted name in electronic components, the switch adheres to strict quality standards. The contact material is silver, delivering excellent conductivity and long‑term stability. Insulation resistance reaches 100 MΩ, safeguarding against leakage currents and ensuring safe operation in high‑voltage environments. The switch operates in an on‑off mode, providing clear tactile feedback for users and minimizing the risk of accidental activation. With a lightweight of just 0.317 oz and a package dimension of 3.58 × 2.4 × 0.67 in, it is easy to handle during assembly and integrates seamlessly into a wide range of industrial and scientific equipment.

Usage

This DPDT slide switch is ideal for a multitude of applications across industrial automation, instrumentation, and control systems. It excels in scenarios where reliable AC switching is required, such as motor control panels, lighting circuits, HVAC systems, and test equipment. The switch’s dual‑pole capability enables users to toggle power between two separate loads or to create a simple on‑off‑on configuration for safety interlocks. Its panel‑mount design makes it a perfect fit for enclosure panels, control cabinets, and modular DIN rail systems. Engineers and technicians appreciate the straightforward installation process: the 2.2 mm mounting hole and 5 mm pin pitch allow for quick soldering or screw‑terminal connections, reducing downtime during maintenance or upgrades.

Beyond traditional industrial settings, the uxcell slide switch is also suitable for hobbyist projects, educational labs, and prototype development where space constraints and reliable performance are critical. Its silver‑tone finish blends well with both dark and light panel colors, providing a professional appearance that matches a variety of design aesthetics. Whether used in a high‑volume manufacturing line or a low‑volume custom solution, the switch delivers consistent operation, minimizing the need for frequent replacements and contributing to overall system uptime.

FAQ

What does DPDT mean and how does it work?

DPDT stands for double‑pole double‑throw. It means the switch controls two separate circuits (poles) and each pole can connect to one of two terminals (throws). This allows you to switch two loads simultaneously or create an on‑off‑on configuration for safety interlocks.

Can this switch be used for DC applications?

While the switch is rated for AC voltages up to 250 VAC, it can also handle low‑voltage DC circuits within the same current limits. However, for high‑current DC applications, a switch specifically rated for DC should be selected to ensure optimal performance.

How do I install the switch in a panel?

Mount the switch using the 2.2 mm mounting hole and align the pins with a 5 mm pitch layout. Secure the switch with screws or clips, then solder or connect the pins to the appropriate circuit traces or terminal blocks. Ensure the panel is powered off during installation.

What warranty does uxcell provide for this switch?

uxcell offers a standard one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the switch fails due to a defect within this period, uxcell will replace or repair the unit at no additional cost, provided the product is returned with proof of purchase.

Is the switch compatible with DIN rail mounting?

Yes, the compact dimensions and panel‑mount design make the switch suitable for DIN rail enclosures when used with appropriate mounting brackets or adapters.
