Dip Switch Blue 8 Pins

The Dip Switch Blue 8 Pins is a blue DIP (dual in-line package) switch block made of small individual switches, each of which can be set ON or OFF by hand. It gives a simple, lasting way to set addresses, modes and configuration options on a circuit board, and the switches can also be read by an Arduino or other microcontroller as digital inputs.

Dip Switch Blue 8 Pins Specifications

• Type: DIP switch, through-hole
• Colour: blue
• Pins: 8, as given in the product name
• Pin pitch: 2.54 mm (0.1 in), fits breadboards, DIP sockets and perfboards
• Operation: each switch is set ON or OFF by hand, easily with a pen tip or small screwdriver
• Switching: each switch connects the pair of pins directly opposite each other

Dip Switch Blue 8 Pins Applications

• Setting device addresses on communication and sensor boards
• Selecting operating modes and options in Arduino projects
• Setting codes on remote control and alarm circuits
• Binary input switches for digital logic lessons
• Configuration settings in repair and replacement work

What's in the Box

• 1 × blue DIP switch, 8 pins

Tip: To read the switches with a microcontroller, connect one side of each switch to ground and the other to an input pin with the internal pull-up enabled (INPUT_PULLUP on Arduino), so a switch set to ON reads LOW.
