4-Way Dip Switch SPST Slide Switch (2.54mm)

4-Way DIP Switch SPST Slide Switch (2.54mm)

The 4-Way DIP Switch SPST Slide Switch (2.54mm) is a compact and reliable solution for manual binary configuration, address selection, and mode setting in electronic systems. With four independent SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) slide switches in one DIP package, it enables precise hardware configuration for development boards, microcontroller projects, communication devices, and industrial controls.

Key Features

• Four independent SPST slide switches in a single compact DIP package.
• Standard 2.54mm pin pitch for easy integration into breadboards, perfboards, and PCBs.
• Clear ON/OFF markings and smooth sliding action for quick configuration and debugging.
• Gold-plated contacts for low contact resistance, excellent conductivity, and corrosion resistance.
• Durable plastic housing with through-hole pins and long mechanical life (2000+ operations per switch).
• Rated for up to 24V DC and typical switching currents used in logic-level circuits.

Installation and Wiring Tips

• Fit the switch into a breadboard or through-hole PCB using the 2.54mm pitch for straight pin alignment.
• Use pull-up or pull-down resistors on microcontroller input pins to ensure defined logic levels when switches are open.
• Label switch positions on your PCB silkscreen for easier field configuration and maintenance.
• Avoid exceeding the rated voltage and current; this switch is intended for logic-level and low-current applications.

Why choose this 4-way DIP switch?

This 4-way DIP SPST slide switch balances compact size, reliability, and ease of use. Gold-plated contacts reduce oxidation and ensure long-term electrical stability while the standard 2.54mm pitch makes integration straightforward in both hobbyist and professional projects.
