uxcell 5 Pcs Pink DIP Switch 3‑Way 2.54mm Pitch for Breadboard PCB

Description

Product Overview

The uxcell pink DIP switch is a compact, six‑pin component designed for easy integration into a wide range of electronic assemblies. Each switch offers three distinct positions—off, on, and toggle—allowing users to configure circuit behavior with precision. Constructed from a durable combination of metal contacts and high‑impact plastic housing, the switches provide reliable performance under a 24 V operating voltage and a 25 mA current rating. The 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch matches standard breadboard and PCB spacing, ensuring seamless placement without the need for additional adapters. The package includes five individual switches, each tested to meet the specified ratings of 100 mA non‑switching and 25 mA switching capacity, with a contact resistance of 50 mΩ and insulation resistance of 500 MΩ at 500 V DC. This makes the product suitable for both low‑power logic circuits and more demanding control applications.

Usage

These pink DIP switches are ideal for hobbyist projects, educational labs, and professional prototyping environments. Their compact size and standard pitch allow them to be quickly inserted into breadboards for rapid testing of circuit concepts, such as address selection, mode setting, or feature enablement. In PCB designs, the switches can be soldered directly onto the board to provide permanent configuration options for devices ranging from microcontroller development kits to industrial control panels. The clear pink coloration aids visual identification during assembly and troubleshooting, reducing the chance of misconfiguration. Typical applications include setting device IDs, selecting communication protocols, configuring power‑up states, and creating user‑adjustable parameters in embedded systems.

FAQ

What is the maximum voltage and current rating for these switches?

The switches are rated for a maximum operating voltage of 24 V and a continuous current rating of 25 mA, making them suitable for most low‑power digital and control circuits.

Can these switches be used on a standard breadboard?

Yes, the 2.54 mm pitch matches the spacing of standard breadboard rows, allowing you to insert the switches directly without any additional adapters.

Are the pink switches compatible with both through‑hole and surface‑mount PCB designs?

These switches are designed for through‑hole mounting. While they can be used in surface‑mount applications with appropriate modifications, they are primarily intended for through‑hole soldering.

What warranty does uxcell provide for this product?

uxcell offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Customers can contact support for replacement or technical assistance within the warranty period.

How do I identify the correct pin orientation for wiring?

The switch pins are arranged in two rows of three. The middle pin of each row corresponds to the common terminal, while the outer pins represent the off and on positions. Refer to the product datasheet for detailed pinout diagrams.
