6 Way Slide Dip Switch – 2.54mm Pitch

The 6 Way Slide Dip Switch – 2.54mm Pitch in one through-hole DIP package produce 64 possible binary configuration states – each of the six channels sits either ON or OFF independently from the others. The  six independent slide switchesuses that six-channel layout at 2.54mm pitch, matching standard breadboard spacing and the most common PCB DIP footprints used in digital circuit design. Moving from a 4-way to a 6-way switch doubles the available address range, which is why the 6-channel variant is the standard choice for DMX512 lighting controller address selection where 6 bits cover address values 1 through 64.

The 6 way slide switch actuator on each channel requires deliberate finger force to change position, making accidental switching from vibration unlikely in field-deployed devices where configuration should remain fixed after initial setup. At 30V DC and 0.15A, the dip switch handles logic-level signal switching across I2C address lines, SPI configuration, UART baud rate selection, and enable inputs without dealing with power-level currents.

The mini slide switch compact body keeps PCB real estate usage low even with six channels present. Operating temperature from -20°C to +80°C covers indoor industrial panel and standard enclosure environments.The 6 pin slide switch through-hole body solders onto PCB pads in the standard DIP orientation. This switch for makers working on digital circuit configuration.
