Multicomp Pro MCEPM-10 SMD Piano Key DIP Switch, SPST, 10 Way

The Multicomp Pro MCEPM-10 is a highly reliable 10-way DIP switch, designed for surface-mount applications. Featuring a piano key actuator style, it offers a user-friendly interface for precise circuit configuration. This single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch is constructed with gold-clad alloy copper contacts and brass surface-mount terminals, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Built for durability, the switch utilises a high-temperature thermoplastic housing made from UL94V-0 rated nylon, with a white stem and a black base and cover. This robust construction makes it suitable for applications requiring consistent performance under various conditions. Its end-stackable design provides flexibility in PCB layout and assembly, allowing multiple units to be positioned adjacently.

With a compact footprint, this component is ideal for space-constrained printed circuit board designs. Its long actuator facilitates easy manual toggling, even in densely populated assemblies. The switch is rated for a maximum DC voltage of 24V and a contact current of 25mA, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of low-power digital signal routing and configuration tasks.
