Product type
A slide switch is a type of electrical switch that is operated by sliding a lever or actuator along a track. Typically made from materials such as plastic and metal, slide switches provide a reliable means of controlling electrical circuits. They are commonly used in various electronic devices to toggle between different states, such as on/off or to select between multiple functions.
| Material | Plastic housing with metal contacts |
| Operating voltage | Up to 250V AC |
| Current rating | Typically 0.5A to 5A |
| Number of positions | 2 to 4 positions |
| Mounting type | Through-hole or surface mount |
| Contact resistance | Typically less than 100 mΩ |
When selecting a slide switch, consider the operating voltage and current rating to ensure compatibility with your application. Specify the number of positions required and the mounting type based on your design needs. Additionally, check for any specific certifications or grades that may be necessary for your industry, and provide estimated quantities for accurate pricing.
