The 3-Pin Miniature Toggle Switch is a robust and ultra-compact component designed for reliable power and signal switching in tight spaces. Featuring a precision-engineered 12.70mm x 7.70mm base, this switch is the perfect choice for customized electronics, hobbyist projects, and industrial control panels.
Ultra-Compact Footprint: The slim 12.70mm x 7.70mm dimensions allow for high-density installation in small handheld devices or crowded control boxes.
High-Visibility Red Safety Cap: Includes a removable, vibrant red rubberized cap that provides additional grip and protection for the metal lever.
2-Position Latching Logic: Simple ON-OFF operation (SPDT) provides clear mechanical feedback and stays in the selected position until manually toggled.
Robust Threaded Mounting: Comes equipped with standard hex nuts and a locking washer to ensure a secure, anti-rotation fit in panel cutouts.
Reliable Terminal Layout: Features 3 vertical solder pins designed for stable through-hole PCB mounting or direct wire soldering.
Custom Audio Gear: Ideal for use as a bypass switch or power selector in guitar pedals and studio equipment.
DIY Projects: A favorite for makers building custom computer cases, drone controllers, or lighting rigs.
Industrial Prototyping: Useful for testing benches and equipment where a small, dependable power toggle is required.
Dimensions: 12.70mm (L) x 7.70mm (W).
Circuitry: SPDT (3 Pins).
Switch Action: 2-Position Latching (ON-OFF).
Handle Type: Metal with Red Protective Cap.
Mounting: Panel Mount (Threaded Bushing).
Can I use this for 240V AC power?
While these miniature switches are typically rated for 125VAC/6A or 250VAC/3A, they are best suited for low-to-medium voltage signal and power paths. Always check your specific load requirements.
What is the purpose of the 3rd pin for an ON-OFF switch?
This is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch. You can use the center pin and one side pin for a simple ON-OFF connection, or use all three to toggle power between two different outputs.
Is the red cap waterproof?
The cap provides splash protection and prevents debris from entering the lever assembly, but it is not rated for full submersion. It is primarily a safety and visibility feature.
