MULTICOMP PRO - Slide Switch, DPDT - 12A 250V

The MULTICOMP PRO Slide Switch (DPDT) is a high-reliability, double-pole double-throw switch designed for precise control in electronic circuits. Engineered for demanding applications, this through-hole mounted switch offers excellent electrical characteristics and robust mechanical construction for long-term performance.

Featuring a DPDT (Double-Pole, Double-Throw) contact configuration, it provides exceptional versatility, allowing control over two separate circuits with a single actuation. This makes it ideal for functions like signal routing, power source selection, or mode switching in a wide array of electronic devices and industrial control panels.

The switch boasts a significant current rating of 12A at 250V AC, ensuring it can handle substantial power loads with confidence. Its superior electrical performance is further highlighted by a very low maximum initial contact resistance of 20mΩ, which minimises power loss and voltage drop. High insulation resistance (minimum 100MΩ at 500VDC) and a dielectric strength of 1000VAC for one minute provide excellent safety and reliability, preventing leakage currents and electrical breakdown.

Constructed with durability in mind, the switch features a vertical orientation for straightforward PCB mounting. Its compact and sturdy design, with a through-hole mounting style, ensures a secure and stable connection on printed circuit boards, capable of withstanding repeated use. The slide mechanism offers a positive, tactile feel for accurate switching.

As part of the Multicomp Pro range, this component is designed to meet the needs of professional engineers, hobbyists, and industrial applications where dependable switching is non-negotiable. It is a fundamental building block for prototyping, product development, and maintenance of electronic equipment, providing a dependable interface for user control.
