Slide Switches:

Element14’s slide switches offer a simple, durable mechanism for controlling electrical circuits. These switches operate by sliding a contact along a set of terminals to open or close the circuit. They are available in various configurations, including SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) and DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) options.

Slide switches are often used where space is limited and a straightforward on/off control is required. They are commonly used in consumer electronics, automotive applications, and handheld devices.

Applications:

• Consumer Electronics: On/off control for devices such as flashlights, toys, and remotes.
• Power Systems: Low-power control in control panels and lighting systems.
• Test Equipment: Setting operational modes in portable instruments.
