uxcell 5 Pcs Black DIP Switch Horizontal 2 Way 2.54mm Pitch for PCB

Description

Product Overview

The uxcell 5 piece black DIP switch set is engineered for precision and durability, offering a reliable 2‑way toggle mechanism that fits seamlessly into a wide range of electronic assemblies. Each switch features a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch, matching standard breadboard and PCB spacing, which simplifies integration without the need for additional adapters. Constructed from a combination of high‑quality metal contacts and robust plastic housing, the switches provide a stable electrical connection rated for 24 V and 100 mA, ensuring consistent performance even under continuous operation. The compact 5‑piece package includes two rows of four pins each, delivering a total of eight contact points that can be configured for various circuit functions, from address selection to mode switching. The black color not only offers a professional aesthetic but also reduces visual clutter on densely populated boards, making troubleshooting and verification easier for engineers and hobbyists alike.

Usage

These DIP switches are ideal for a multitude of applications, including microcontroller configuration, FPGA address setting, and custom hardware prototypes. Their reliable 2‑way operation makes them perfect for on/off control, mode selection, and binary setting tasks in both industrial and educational environments. Whether you are building a development board, a robotics controller, or a simple hobby project, the 2.54 mm pitch aligns perfectly with standard prototyping boards, allowing you to quickly insert and adjust settings without soldering. The switches are also well‑suited for use in automotive diagnostics, telecommunications equipment, and any scenario where a compact, low‑profile toggle is required. Their low current rating of 100 mA ensures safe operation with most logic circuits, while the 24 V rating provides ample headroom for a variety of power supplies.
