The 8-Way DIP Switch is a compact, manually-operated switch module designed to provide multiple independent ON/OFF controls within a single electronic component. Encased in a small dual in-line package (DIP), it presents a neat and standardized form factor that fits directly onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). Its slim profile and grouped contacts make it an efficient alternative to a bank of separate switches or cumbersome wiring.
Inside the package are eight individual slide (or toggle) switches. Each of these can be flipped independently, allowing for eight distinct binary choices a practical method for configuration or mode selection in a circuit. This modularity enables designers to encode settings (such as device addresses, operation modes or feature toggles) without the need for software programming or re-wiring.
Because the DIP switch uses a standard pin spacing and form factor, it integrates seamlessly with typical PCB layouts or breadboards. Its simplicity and reliability make it a favorite for both hobbyist electronics and professional embedded systems. With clear markings for ON/OFF positions and a durable sliding mechanism, the 8-Way DIP Switch offers a stable, reusable, and cost-effective solution for hardware-level configuration management.
Features:
- Eight independent ON/OFF slide switches.
- Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) contact style.
- Standard DIP form factor with 2.54 mm pin pitch easy mounting on PCB or breadboard.
- Compact and space-saving compared to multiple discrete switches.
- Reliable and long-lasting sliding mechanism.
- Clear markings for ON/OFF positions for easy configuration and readability.
