Procurement Notes

Verify availability status before ordering, as distribution channels may indicate limited supply or regional restrictions. Confirm that the 0.1-inch pin spacing and thin profile align with your PCB footprint requirements, noting that breadboard compatibility is not recommended due to physical constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a basic SPDT slide switch is required for low-current applications up to 0.3A at 50VDC. Ensure your design accommodates the thin pin structure, as standard breadboards are unsuitable. Consider alternative mounting methods if prototyping flexibility is needed.
