Mini slide switch - breadboard-compatible, 2.54 mm pitch

Product Overview

• Miniature slide switch for breadboards
• Two switch positions, normally open contact
• Breadboard-compatible pin header with 0.1-inch pitch
• Low switching capacity for logic and control voltages
• Robust metal construction

Product Description

This slide switch with breadboard pin headers can be installed directly into standard breadboards. The slider connects or disconnects two contacts; it simply closes the circuit without using air.[paragraph break] Its metal construction makes it robust, and a few actuations won't damage the contacts. Since the switch is designed for low currents only, it is suitable for logic signals and low control voltages, not high loads.[paragraph break] In prototypes, it can control LED settings, measurement modes, or program sequences, for example. A temperature measuring device can select a measurement range, while a controller board can use it to activate specific sensor modules. It's also ideal for quickly testing conditions without additional logic chips.[paragraph break] It connects via standard pin headers with 2.54 mm pitch, providing direct contact without soldering. The switch module requires no additional components and fits directly into your project, as long as the switching capacity remains below the specified maximum.

Safety Information

The switch is intended exclusively for prototype assembly and testing and development purposes, not for use in household electrical circuits. If the switch carries loads above its rated capacity, contact damage and failures may occur.
