ON Off Switch, SPDT Micro Switch Mini Switches Small Slide Toggle 1p2t for PCB Arduino Breadboard Electronic Board Dip Miniature 3mm 70PCS GuuYebe

Description

Product Overview

The GuuYebe ON Off Switch is engineered as a miniature SPDT (single pole double throw) micro toggle that fits seamlessly onto dense circuit boards and breadboard layouts. Measuring only 3 mm in length, the switch features a robust plastic housing paired with brass contacts that are silver‑plated for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. With a voltage rating of 50 V DC and a current capacity of 0.5 A, the switch can reliably handle the power demands of most hobbyist and industrial prototyping projects. Its vertical through‑hole mounting style, combined with a 0.1 in (2.54 mm) pin pitch, ensures straightforward soldering and secure mechanical retention. The switch is rated for more than 100,000 actuations, providing long‑term durability for repetitive on/off cycles in robotics, automation, and DIY electronics.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of applications, this micro switch excels in environments where space is at a premium and reliable switching is essential. Engineers and makers frequently incorporate it into Arduino‑based control panels, sensor modules, and custom PCB designs for home automation, educational kits, and prototype rigs. Its compact size makes it ideal for handheld devices, miniature drones, and wearable electronics that require a tactile on/off interface without adding bulk. The switch also performs well in industrial automation settings, such as conveyor belt start‑stop stations, where its high click life reduces maintenance intervals. Whether you are building a robotic arm, a smart home relay, or a simple LED toggle circuit, the GuuYebe ON Off Switch delivers consistent performance.

FAQ

What is the difference between SPDT and DPDT switches?

SPDT (single pole double throw) switches have one common terminal that can connect to one of two separate contacts, allowing a single circuit to be switched between two states. DPDT (double pole double throw) switches have two independent circuits that can each be switched between two positions, effectively providing two SPDT switches in one housing.

Can this switch be used with AC voltage?

While the switch is rated for 50 V DC, it can handle low‑voltage AC applications up to the same voltage level. For higher AC voltages, a switch specifically rated for AC use should be selected to ensure safety and longevity.

Is the switch compatible with standard Arduino shields?

Yes, the 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pin spacing matches the standard Arduino header layout, allowing direct insertion onto shields or prototype boards without additional adapters.

How do I mount the switch on a surface‑mount board?

The GuuYebe switch is a through‑hole component, so it is not intended for surface‑mount technology (SMT). For SMT applications, consider a similar miniature toggle switch that offers a surface‑mount package.

What is the expected lifespan of the switch under continuous use?

With a mechanical life rating of over 100,000 actuations, the switch can endure frequent toggling in most hobbyist and industrial scenarios. Continuous operation at the rated voltage and current will not significantly reduce this lifespan.
