Dip Switch 1 Pin

As we all know the DIP switches come in a variety of types, including  slide actuators and piano actuators as well as rotary actuators.

Slide DIP switches are standard toggle switches. Each switch has two positions - either closed or open (also on/off or 1/0) and therefore operates as an SPST switch. 

The number of switches in a package depends on the application and can change from 1 to 16 positions or more. A common DIP switch package has eight positions because it corresponds to 256 possible binary codes, which is equivalent to one byte of data. For more on switch functions and common switch types,

Any DIP switch can be configured as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). Normally open switches complete the circuit when actuated, while normally closed switches break the circuit when actuated.

1-PIN Side-Actuated DIP Switch is a single-circuit, 1-position micro DIP switch with horizontal side actuation. It controls the ON/OFF status of a single circuit via a side slider, supporting both SMD and through-hole packages. It is specially designed for side operation on PCBs and narrow-space applications.

Key Advantages

• Side Operation, Saves Top SpaceThe slider is located on the side, occupying no height on the front or top of the device, making it ideal for ultra-thin and compact structures.

• Enhanced Anti-MisoperationThe side slider is less likely to be accidentally touched from the front, suitable for fixed settings after equipment production or commissioning.

• More Flexible LayoutCan be placed along the edge of the PCB for cleaner wiring, facilitating high-density circuit design.

• Compact Size & Stable LifespanSimple structure, reliable contact, and long mechanical lifespan, suitable for long-term static configuration.

• Universal InstallationSupports both SMD and through-hole mounting, compatible with automated soldering for high production efficiency.
