uxcell 50 Pcs Red DIP Switch 1-2 Position 2.54mm Pitch for PCB

Description

Product Overview

The uxcell 50‑piece red DIP switch set is engineered for engineers, makers, and educators who need a reliable, space‑saving method to configure electronic circuits. Each switch features a 1‑2 position toggle mechanism with a standard 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch, allowing seamless integration onto breadboards, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and prototype boards. Constructed from a combination of robust metal contacts and high‑impact plastic housing, the switches deliver a rated operating voltage of 24 V and a current capacity of 25 mA, ensuring stable performance in low‑power applications. The red color provides visual identification, making it easy to locate and modify settings during testing or final assembly.

Beyond the basic specifications, the DIP switches are designed with a low contact resistance of 50 mΩ and an insulation resistance of 500 MΩ, which helps to minimize power loss and protect against accidental short circuits. The switches are rated for a non‑switching current of 100 mA at 50 V DC, offering additional safety margin for transient conditions. Their compact 1‑2‑50Pcs packaging means you receive 50 individual switches, each capable of handling up to 2 rows and 4 pins, making them ideal for dense circuit layouts where board real estate is at a premium.

All units comply with industry standards for electronic components, and the product is backed by a manufacturer reputation for quality and consistency. The package includes clear labeling of part numbers (a18112300ux0451) and a concise datasheet that outlines the electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions (0.39″ L × 0.26″ W × 0.39″ H), and recommended mounting procedures. Whether you are building a hobbyist project, a university lab prototype, or a commercial device, these DIP switches provide the flexibility and reliability required for precise circuit control.

Usage

These DIP switches excel in a variety of environments, from educational labs to industrial prototyping stations. In a typical breadboard setup, the 2.54 mm pitch aligns perfectly with standard jumper wires, allowing quick insertion and removal without soldering. For PCB applications, the switches can be soldered directly onto the board, providing a permanent yet serviceable solution for configuration settings such as mode selection, address setting, or feature enable/disable.

Common use cases include configuring microcontroller pin states, setting address lines for peripheral devices, and creating selectable power rails in modular power supplies. The red color aids visual debugging, especially when multiple switches are used in parallel configurations. Hobbyists often employ these switches in robotics projects, remote control devices, and custom gaming controllers where on‑the‑fly adjustments are necessary.

In industrial settings, the switches are suitable for low‑voltage control panels, test equipment, and instrumentation where a reliable toggle is required. Their durability ensures they can withstand repeated actuation cycles, making them a cost‑effective choice for long‑term deployments. The switches are also compatible with both metric and imperial measurement systems, simplifying integration across global supply chains.

FAQ

What is the maximum current each switch can handle?

Each DIP switch is rated for a continuous current of 25 mA at an operating voltage of 24 V. For non‑switching conditions, the rating increases to 100 mA at 50 V DC, providing a safety margin for transient spikes.

Can these switches be used on both breadboards and soldered PCBs?

Yes. The 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch matches standard breadboard spacing, allowing plug‑in use without soldering. They can also be soldered directly onto a PCB for permanent installations, making them versatile for prototyping and final products.

Are the switches compatible with 5 V logic circuits?

Absolutely. While the switches are rated for up to 24 V, they operate safely at lower voltages such as 5 V, which is common for microcontroller and logic‑level applications. The low contact resistance ensures reliable switching even at low voltage levels.

What warranty does uxcell provide for this DIP switch set?

uxcell offers a standard one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If a switch fails due to a defect within the warranty period, you can contact the seller for a replacement or refund, subject to proof of purchase.

How many toggle actions can each switch endure?

The switches are designed for thousands of actuation cycles. While the exact number can vary based on usage conditions, they are built to withstand the repeated toggling typical in development and testing environments without degradation of performance.
