DIP Switches Specifications

Switch Configuration


	Switch Configuration
	Your choices are...
	Normally Open (NO)		A term used to describe contacts that interrupt the circuit when in their normal position.
	Normally Closed (NC)		A term used to describe contacts that establish a circuit when in their normal position.
	Three Stage Switch (Center Position)		Switch has Three positions (e.g. ON - OFF - ON)
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Pole and Throw Specifications


	Pole and Throw Specifications
	Your choices are...
	Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST)		A switch that makes or breaks the connection of a single conductor in a single branch circuit. This switch typically has two terminals. It is commonly referred to as a "Single-Pole" Switch.
	Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT)		A switch that makes or breaks the connection of a single conductor with either of two other single conductors. This switch typically has 3 terminals, and is commonly used in pairs and called a "Three-Way" switch.
	Double Pole, Single Throw (DPST)		A switch that makes or breaks the connection of two circuit conductors in a single branch circuit. This switch typically has four terminals.
	Double Pole, Double Throw (DPDT)		A switch that makes or breaks the connection of two conductors to two separate circuits. This switch typically has six terminals and is available in both momentary and maintained contact versions.
	Other Type (Special Application)		Special throw types with more than 2 poles, such as switches designed to split loads into separate circuits (e.g. headlamp switch)
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Electrical Switch Specifications


	Max Current Rating:		The maximum nominal, or name plate current capacity of a device.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Max AC Voltage Rating:		The maximum AC voltage capacity of a device.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Max DC Voltage Rating:		The maximum DC voltage capacity of a device.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Max Power Rating:		The maximum power capacity of a device.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

Terminal Type


	Terminal Type
	Your choices are...
	Quick Connect/Blade		Blade terminals, sometimes referred to as "Spade" terminals, are designed to be inserted/removed rapidly without the need for soldering.
	Surface Mount Technology		A method of soldering packages directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards without insertion of leads through a board.
	Straight PC Pins		Printed circuit board type, no angle to pins.
	Right Angle PC Pins		Printed circuit board type, angled pins.
	Side PC Pins		Printed circuit board type, side exiting pins.
	Other Terminal Type
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
