The Miniature DPDT Slide Switch is a compact and versatile component designed for precision control in electronic circuits. Here are its key features with technical specifications:
1. Dual-Pole Dual-Throw (DPDT) Configuration: This switch features two independent circuits (poles) with two positions each (throws), enabling simultaneous control of two separate signal paths. Its contact rating is typically 3A at 125VAC or 1.5A at 250VAC, making it suitable for low-power applications.
2. Compact Dimensions: With a standard footprint of 6.5mm × 10mm × 4.3mm (L×W×H), the miniature design saves PCB space while maintaining robust performance. The slide actuator travel distance is precisely engineered at 2.5±0.2mm for reliable switching.
3. High Reliability: Constructed with phosphor bronze contacts and silver plating, the switch offers low contact resistance (<30mω initial="">) and withstands 10,000+ mechanical cycles. The operating temperature range spans -20°C to +85°C for diverse environments.
4. Precise Actuation: The slide mechanism requires an operating force of 200±50gf, ensuring positive tactile feedback. The gold-plated terminals provide excellent solderability with 260°C wave soldering compatibility for 10 seconds maximum.
5. Versatile Mounting Options: Available in both through-hole (THT) and surface-mount (SMD) variants. The THT version features 0.5mm diameter leads with 2.54mm pitch, while SMD types comply with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity standards.
6. Electrical Isolation: The switch provides 500VAC insulation resistance between contacts for 1 minute, with dielectric strength exceeding 100MΩ at 500VDC. This ensures safe operation in circuits requiring signal separation.
The miniature DPDT Slide Switch is a compact and highly reliable switching component designed for modern electronic applications that require dual-circuit control in limited PCB space. With its durable mechanical structure and stable electrical performance, this DPDT slide switch is widely used in industrial automation, robotics, communication systems, consumer electronics, and testing equipment.
Engineered for precision and long-lasting performance, the switch features a smooth sliding mechanism that provides secure tactile feedback and dependable contact switching. Its compact size makes it an ideal micro DPDT switch for high-density PCB layouts and portable electronic devices where space optimization is critical.
This high-quality mini slide switch supports multiple switching configurations, including ON-ON and ON-OFF-ON types, allowing flexible circuit routing, polarity reversal, and operational mode selection in various electronic systems.
The DPDT slide switch operates by mechanically sliding an actuator to change the internal electrical connections between terminals. Inside the switch housing, a conductive contact bridges specific terminals depending on the slider position, enabling precise switching between two independent circuits.
In the ON-ON configuration, each input terminal connects to one of two output terminals. In the ON-OFF-ON configuration, the switch includes a neutral center position where no electrical connection is established, providing an additional OFF state for enhanced control functionality.
Designed for reliability and durability, this Miniature DPDT Slide Switch ensures consistent switching performance over repeated cycles, making it suitable for both commercial and industrial applications.
