About DIP Switches
Dual in-line package (DIP) switches are electronic packages that consist of a series of tiny switches. DIP switches are used to configure computers and peripherals such as circuit boards and modems. Actuator choices for DIP switches include slide actuators, rocker actuators, and side actuated levers (piano). A slide actuator configuration can have raised or recessed slides. A rocker actuator configuration can have raised or recessed rockers. A side actuated lever configuration is typically called piano style, the "keys" are pressed down to actuate. The number of positions available is equivalent to the number of actuators on the DIP switch.
DIP switches can be normally open, normally closed, or three stage. A normally open (NO) switch has contacts that are open or disconnected in their unactuated (normal) position. A normally closed (NC) switch has contacts that are closed or connected in their unactuated (normal) position. A three stage switch has three positions (e.g. ON - OFF - ON). Pole and throw configurations for DIP switches can be single pole single throw (SPST), single pole double throw (SPDT), double pole single throw (DPST), or double pole double throw (DPDT). SPST is a switch that makes or breaks the connection of a single conductor in a single branch circuit. This switch typically has two terminals. It is commonly referred to as a "Single-Pole" Switch. SPDT is a switch that makes or breaks the connection of a single conductor with either of two other single conductors. This switch typically has 3 terminals, and is commonly used in pairs and called a "Three-Way" switch. DPST is a switch that makes or breaks the connection of two circuit conductors in a single branch circuit. This switch typically has four terminals. DPDT is a switch that makes or breaks the connection of two conductors to two separate circuits. This switch typically has six terminals and is available in both momentary and maintained contact versions. Other types have more than 2 poles, such as switches designed to split loads into separate circuits (e.g., headlamp switch).
