10-Way DIP Switch, SPDT Slide, Through-Hole

A DIP switch packs multiple individual on/off switches into one compact package, giving a project a way to set persistent configuration options or binary values directly on a circuit board without needing software menus, jumpers, or external configuration tools. This 10-way version provides ten completely independent SPDT slide switches in a single row, each one set to its own on or off position with a small flat-blade screwdriver or fingernail.

Each individual switch is rated for 50VDC at 150mA, enough for low-voltage digital logic configuration signals though not intended for switching real power loads - this is a configuration-setting component, not a power switch. Standard 2.54mm through-hole pin spacing matches the common breadboard and PCB grid, making it straightforward to design directly into a custom board layout.

Life expectancy is rated at 2000 operating cycles per switch, entirely adequate for a component whose settings are typically configured once during setup or occasional reconfiguration, rather than switched repeatedly during normal operation. Contact resistance stays under 100 milliohms, keeping the switch's own resistance from meaningfully affecting whatever logic-level signal it's controlling.

Builders setting device addresses on a multi-board system, configuring operating modes on a custom circuit, or needing any persistent multi-bit configuration setting directly accessible on a PCB without software will find this 10-way DIP switch a well-proven, standard component for exactly that configuration task.
