Key Features of 8 Way Slide Switch 2.54mm Pitch (Pack of 2)
- 8 Independent Positions: Each of the 8 slide switches operates independently as an ON/OFF toggle, allowing 256 (2) unique binary combinations for address or configuration setting.
- Standard 2.54mm Pitch: Perfectly matches breadboard and perfboard hole spacing, enabling direct plug-in prototyping without adapters or special footprints.
- Compact DIP Package: Occupies minimal board space while providing 8 channels of switching - ideal for dense PCB layouts and space-constrained enclosures.
- Tactile Slide Mechanism: Each position features a positive-action slide with clear ON/OFF detent, preventing accidental toggling during operation or handling.
- Through-Hole Mounting: Tech Depot India THT pins provide strong mechanical connection to PCBs and are easy to hand-solder, making them perfect for prototyping and production alike.
- Low Contact Resistance: Plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal-level switching with minimal voltage drop across the switch contacts.
- Wide Temperature Range: Rated from -40 degreesC to +85 degreesC, suitable for both indoor laboratory environments and embedded systems in challenging thermal conditions.
- Pack of 2: Two switches per pack provide a spare unit or allow use across multiple projects and boards simultaneously.
- 100% authentic from trusted component suppliers - no counterfeit or remarked parts
- Standard DIP footprint compatible with virtually all prototyping and PCB platforms
- Durable construction rated for thousands of switching cycles
How It Works
An 8-way slide switch is essentially 8 miniature Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switches housed in a single DIP package. Each position has two pins - one common and one output. When a slider is moved to the ON position, it mechanically connects the two pins, completing the circuit for that channel. When moved to OFF, the circuit is open.
Because each switch is independent, you can set any combination of ON and OFF states across the 8 positions. This makes the component ideal for encoding binary values (0-255), setting hardware addresses, selecting operating modes, or enabling/disabling individual features in a circuit. The microcontroller or logic circuit reads the state of each pin (HIGH or LOW) to determine the selected configuration.
Pin Configuration
| Pin Pair | Switch Position | Function |
| 1 & 16 | Position 1 | SPST Switch Channel 1 |
| 2 & 15 | Position 2 | SPST Switch Channel 2 |
| 3 & 14 | Position 3 | SPST Switch Channel 3 |
