2 Position DIP Switch

A 2-position DIP switch 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:

• Type: Dual In-line Package (DIP)
• Number of Positions: 2 (typically ON and OFF for each switch)
• Switch Type: Mechanical toggle or slider switch
• Mounting Style: Through-hole (pins inserted into a PCB) or Surface-mount (for compact designs)
• Current Rating: Typically 25mA to 50mA (check datasheet for exact value)
• Voltage Rating: Usually 12V to 24V DC (depending on the model)
• Contact Resistance: Typically ≤ 100Ω
• Insulation Resistance: Usually ≥ 100MΩ at 500V DC
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to +70°C (varies by manufacturer)
• Actuation: Manual toggling of the switch to set either the ON or OFF position
• Number of Poles: 2 (one for each switch in a 2-position setup)
• Functionality: Binary configuration (e.g., set to ON or OFF to configure specific settings in a device)

DIP switches are often used in electronics for setting hardware configurations, such as device IDs, jumper settings, or enabling/disabling features.
