Manual Settings for PCB Assemblies

DIP Switches

DIP switches for PCB configuration and address settings. Compare position counts, through-hole and SMD mounting, and slide or piano-style actuation to match your board layout and enclosure access.

DIP Switches
  • Position Count 1–12 or 2–12 by Series
  • PCB Mounting Through-Hole & SMD
  • Actuator Style Slide & Piano Options

Selection Guide

Choosing a DIP Switch

Position Count

Choose the number of independent ON/OFF settings your circuit needs. The listed families cover 1–12 or 2–12 positions, depending on the series.

PCB Mounting & Footprint

Compare through-hole and surface-mount versions. Match the pin layout, body dimensions and mounting direction to your board drawing.

Actuator & Access

Compare top-operated slide and piano-style switches, with raised or flush actuator formats. Allow room to reach the settings after assembly.

Applications

Typical Switch Applications

Manual ON/OFF settings for electronic assemblies.

Device Address Settings

Set binary options on a PCB where the equipment design uses physical address selection.

Equipment Configuration

Select operating modes and hardware options during assembly or servicing.

Replacement Boards

Match the position count, footprint and actuator access of an existing assembly.

Common Questions

DIP Switch FAQs

Answers about position counts, PCB fit and ordering.

For a Project Enquiry

Send the series, position count, mounting format and quantity.

Send Project Details

DS, DI-R, DI-F, DM-R and DM-F product pages list 1–12 positions. DM-1.27, DP and DA pages list 2–12. Specify the complete ordering code and required count.

Choose the mounting format that matches your PCB assembly. Compare the terminal layout and dimensions on the model drawing before selecting a footprint.

Slide actuators are operated from the top; piano-style actuators offer a different access direction. Raised and flush formats also affect how the switch can be reached inside the enclosure.

A product page may use a representative image from the series. Use the complete ordering code and dimensional drawing to identify the required position count and footprint.

Send the series or complete model code, position count, mounting format and quantity. Include your PCB drawing or reference photo when matching an existing part.
