8-Position DIP Switch – Slide Type, PCB Mount for Configuration & Logic Control

Overview 

The 8-position DIP (Dual In-line Package) switch is a versatile manual switching component designed for mounting directly onto PCBs or breadboards. Each of the 8 individual switches can be toggled ON or OFF independently, making it ideal for setting binary addresses, configuring hardware options, or enabling/disabling specific features in your circuit design. Its slide-type mechanism provides tactile feedback and high reliability.

Key Features

• 8 Independent Channels: Control up to 8 different logic signals with a single compact component.

• PCB/Breadboard Compatible: Standard 2.54mm (0.1″) pitch makes it perfect for standard perf-boards and breadboards.

• Slide-Action Design: Provides reliable, positive switching action and prevents accidental toggling.

• Durable Construction: Built for long-term use in industrial, automotive, and DIY electronics.

• Low Profile: Compact footprint keeps your projects neat and professional.
