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

8-Way DIP Switch SPST Slide Switch (2.54mm) Overview

The 8-Way DIP Switch SPST Slide Switch (2.54mm) is a compact, reliable configuration component for digital electronics, embedded systems, and prototyping. It contains eight independent Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) slide switches in a dual in-line (DIP) package. With a standard 2.54mm pitch, it installs easily on breadboards, prototyping boards, and PCBs for quick hardware configuration without soldering.

Key Features

• 8 independent SPST switches in one DIP module for binary or multi-flag configurations
• Standard 2.54mm pin spacing for universal compatibility with breadboards and PCBs
• Gold-plated contacts for reliable conductivity and reduced oxidation
• Positive tactile sliding action with clear ON/OFF marking for each switch
• Durable plastic enclosure with through-hole terminals for secure mounting
• Compact footprint ideal for microcontrollers, logic circuits, and test rigs
