Miniature SPDT Slide Switch — 3-Pin, Breadboard & PCB Compatible (5-Pack)
These compact SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) slide switches are one of the most versatile and commonly used switches in electronics prototyping. With three pins (Common, Position A, Position B), a single slide switch can route a signal to one of two destinations, connect or disconnect power, or select between two operating modes. The miniature footprint fits directly into a solderless breadboard or standard 2.54mm PCB pads, making them ideal for Arduino projects, portable devices, and any circuit that needs a reliable latching toggle.
Electrical Specifications
- Configuration: SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) — 3 pins
- Action: Latching (maintains position until moved)
- Pin Pitch: 2.54mm (0.1") — breadboard compatible
- Rated Voltage: 12V DC (typical)
- Rated Current: 0.3A (typical)
- Actuation: Slide lever
- Pack Quantity: 5 switches
Pin Configuration
- Pin 1 (left): Position A output
- Pin 2 (center): Common (COM) — connect your signal or power here
- Pin 3 (right): Position B output
- Slide left: COM connects to Pin 1 | Slide right: COM connects to Pin 3
Typical Applications
- Arduino power switch: Connect between battery/USB and VIN to turn the project on/off
- Mode selection: Switch between two operating modes (e.g., normal/debug, 3.3V/5V)
- Signal routing: Route a signal to one of two destinations
- Portable device power: On/off switch for battery-powered projects
- Breadboard prototyping: Quick latching toggle for any breadboard circuit
Package Contents
- 5 × Miniature SPDT slide switch (3-pin, 2.54mm pitch)
5 compact SPDT slide switches — breadboard-friendly, latching, and reliable for power switching, mode selection, and signal routing in any Arduino or DIY electronics project.
