This PCB DIP Switch is designed for manual programming, configuration, addressing, and mode selection in electronic equipment. It features gold-plated contacts for reliable low-resistance switching, a tactile operating mechanism, and an epoxy-sealed base suitable for PCB assembly and wave soldering.

The housing uses UL 94V-0 flame-retardant plastic, while the contact wiping action during switching helps maintain a stable electrical connection over repeated use. It is suitable for industrial controls, communication equipment, measuring instruments, security systems, vending machines, and other electronic devices requiring hardware configuration.

Key Features

Gold-plated contacts provide low contact resistance and reliable switching performance. The tactile mechanism uses positive contact pressure for stable operation, while the epoxy-sealed base helps prevent flux penetration during soldering. The switch is manufactured using UL 94V-0 flame-retardant plastic and is designed for PCB-mounted electronic applications.

Soldering Specifications

Recommended solderability test conditions are 230 ±5°C for 5 ±0.5 seconds, with at least 95% solder coverage.

The specified resistance-to-soldering-heat condition is 260 ±5°C for 5 ±1 seconds.

Applications

Suitable for hardware configuration and programming in computer terminals, communication equipment, remote controls, alarm systems, industrial equipment, measuring instruments, vending machines, gaming equipment, automation controllers, and embedded electronic systems.

DIP switches are commonly used for setting device addresses, operating modes, communication parameters, equipment options, and other settings that need to be configured directly on the PCB.

Important Note

The supplied specifications do not identify the exact number of switch positions. The number of positions should therefore be selected according to the exact product variant.

Do not exceed the specified electrical ratings, and always verify the PCB footprint and pin spacing before installation.
