DSTH: THT DIP switch with standard profile and 2.54 mm pitch

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

Electrically, the DSTH uses SPST contacts and is available in versions with 2, 10, and 12 switching positions. The switch is rated for 25 mA at 24 V for frequently changing switching states and 100 mA at 50 V for permanent switching states. The initial contact resistance is ≤ 50 mΩ and ≤ 100 mΩ after the specified tests. Furthermore, the DSTH offers 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 is from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Applications

Typical applications include PLC controllers, industrial servers, medical equipment, robotics, air conditioning systems, and household appliances. Within these applications, DSTH can be used for RS485 and Modbus addressing, BIOS/CMOS settings, and the configuration of hardware parameters, functions, and operating modes.

Thanks to the combination of proven performance, a competitive price, and rapid availability, the DSTH is an ideal solution for OEMs looking for a reliable alternative to premium-priced standard DIP switches.
