Description
Product Description 6-Pin Miniature DPDT Slide Switch (2-Position ON-ON) Add sleek, low-profile circuit routing to your electronic devices with this premium Miniature Panel-Mount Slide Switch. Featuring a solid black polymer casing, an easy-to-glide vertical knob, and dual integrated mounting tabs, this switch is designed to provide clean, mechanical changeovers in tightly packed electronic enclosures. Utilizing a Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) internal contact structure across 6 solder-loop pins, it allows you to govern two separate electrical lines simultaneously with a single physical slide. The latching mechanism snaps firmly into either side position, ensuring continuous, vibration-resistant contact termination without accidental mid-travel float. Key Features Simultaneous Dual Control (DPDT): Manages two entirely isolated circuits at the same time, making it excellent for multi-voltage selection or signal routing. 2-Position Latching (ON-ON): Slides and stays firmly on either the left or right terminal set without spring-backs. Panel-Mount Ready: Built with an integrated metal or plastic flange housing two pre-drilled eyelets for easy screw-down mounting onto chassis plates. Compact Component Footprint: Low-profile vertical actuator slide takes up minimal internal depth, fitting perfectly inside narrow product enclosures. Technical Specifications & Family Variations Electrical Ratings DC Capacity: 0.5A at 50V DC (standard micro-signal rating) AC Capacity: Alternately rated up to 3A at 250V AC / 6A at 125V AC depending on the internal copper alloy thickness. Compatible Model & Actuator Variations The 6-pin mini slide switch family shares identical terminal pin spacing (2.54mm standard pitch) but alternates body styles to match diverse enclosure designs: Panel-Mount Tabs (This Model): Features lateral mounting ears for securing directly to an exterior device faceplate with micro screws. SS-22F / SS-23D Series (PCB Mount): Eliminates the screw eyelets entirely, utilizing straight downward-facing pins meant to be soldered directly onto a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). 3-Position Variants (ON-OFF-ON / 2P3T): Identical 6-pin framework but introduces a definitive center-OFF physical detent to fully isolate the power feed. Varying Actuator Heights: Available in 2mm, 4mm, or 5mm knob heights to match flush-fit or recessed outer case restrictions. Product & System Compatibility This micro slide switch is an industry-standard hardware component, integrating universally across consumer and developer electronics setups: Polarity Reversal (DC Motor Controls): Because it features a 6-pin DPDT layout, it is fully compatible with “cross-wiring” configurations to control the Forward/Reverse direction of small DC hobby motors. Dual Power Configuration: Universally compatible for alternating a device’s main power grid intake between two separate sources, such as switching an item between Battery Power and USB/Mains wall power. DIY & Developer Electronics: Seamlessly integrates with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and breadboard prototyping projects for toggling between high/low logic signals or managing independent LED strip patterns. Audio & Hardware Customization: Widely utilized inside electric guitar wiring chambers (as coil-splitting or phase switches), audio amplifiers, commercial intercoms, and electronic toys.
