2 Position DIP Switch

<p>A <strong>2-position DIP switch</strong> is a small mechanical switch used to set binary options in a circuit or device. It has two positions for each switch (ON or OFF), making it useful for configurations such as setting addresses or modes. Here’s a general overview of its specifications:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Type:</strong> Dual In-line Package (DIP)</li> <li><strong>Number of Positions:</strong> 2 (typically ON and OFF for each switch)</li> <li><strong>Switch Type:</strong> Mechanical toggle or slider switch</li> <li><strong>Mounting Style:</strong> Through-hole (pins inserted into a PCB) or Surface-mount (for compact designs)</li> <li><strong>Current Rating:</strong> Typically 25mA to 50mA (check datasheet for exact value)</li> <li><strong>Voltage Rating:</strong> Usually 12V to 24V DC (depending on the model)</li> <li><strong>Contact Resistance:</strong> Typically ≤ 100Ω</li> <li><strong>Insulation Resistance:</strong> Usually ≥ 100MΩ at 500V DC</li> <li><strong>Operating Temperature Range:</strong> -20°C to +70°C (varies by manufacturer)</li> <li><strong>Actuation:</strong> Manual toggling of the switch to set either the ON or OFF position</li> <li><strong>Number of Poles:</strong> 2 (one for each switch in a 2-position setup)</li> <li><strong>Functionality:</strong> Binary configuration (e.g., set to ON or OFF to configure specific settings in a device)</li> </ul> <p>DIP switches are often used in electronics for setting hardware configurations, such as device IDs, jumper settings, or enabling/disabling features.</p>
