Multicomp Pro MCNDP-12V Piano Key DIP Switch, 12-Pole, SPST-NO

The Multicomp Pro MCNDP-12V is a 12-pole, single-pole single-throw, normally open (SPST-NO) DIP switch designed for reliable circuit configuration in a wide range of electronic applications. Featuring a distinctive red piano key slide actuator, it offers a positive tactile feel for easy manual operation, making it suitable for settings where settings may need to be changed infrequently but reliably.

This switch is engineered for industrial control systems and computer peripherals, providing a simple and effective method for setting hardware addresses, enabling or disabling functions, or selecting operational modes on a circuit board. Its through-hole mounting ensures a secure and stable connection on printed circuit boards (PCBs), suitable for wave or hand soldering processes.

The switch boasts a robust electrical rating, with a contact rating of 25mA at 50V DC for switching operations and a higher 100mA at 50V DC for non-switching (carry) conditions. The maximum rated contact voltage is 24V DC. This makes it a versatile component for low-voltage digital logic circuits and signal routing.

Part of the Multicomp Pro MCNDP-xxV product range, this DIP switch is a fundamental component for electronics engineers, technicians, and hobbyists involved in prototyping, testing, and final product assembly. Its compact dimensions allow for efficient use of board space without compromising on functionality or ease of use.
