DSTH: Standard Profile and 2.54 mm pitch THT DIP Switch

The DSTH DIP Switch is a robust, standard-profile and 2.54 mm pitch THT (through-hole technology) switch. It enables electronic devices to be configured directly at hardware level. Addresses, communication parameters, logic states and operating modes can be set easily and clearly, without modifying software or firmware.

Electrically, the DSTH uses SPST contacts and offers 2~10, 12 multiply positions. Ratings are 25 mA at 24 V for frequently changing switching states and 100 mA at 50 V for constant switching states. Initial contact resistance is ≤ 50 mΩ and ≤ 100 mΩ after the specified tests. Further specifications include a dielectric strength of 500 V AC for one minute, 2,000 mechanical switching cycles and an operating force of ≤ 8 N. The operating temperature range extends from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Applications

Typical applications include PLC controls, industrial servers, medical devices, robotics, air-conditioning systems and household appliances. In these applications, the DSTH can be used for RS485 and Modbus addressing, BIOS/CMOS settings, as well as the configuration of hardware parameters, functions and operating modes. Combining proven performance, competitive cost and fast availability, DSTH is an ideal solution for OEMs seeking a reliable alternative to premium-priced standard DIP switch brands.
