• Micro switch (limit switch) — Miniature snap-action switch with high precision actuation point. Available in standard body (V-series) and subminiature sizes, with roller lever, straight lever, and pin actuators. Used in 3D printers (endstops), industrial machinery (limit detection), appliances, and safety interlocks.
• Rotary switch — Multi-position rotary selector switch for mode and range selection. Available in 1-pole and 2-pole configurations with 3–12 positions. Used in test equipment, industrial controllers, and multi-function appliances.

Complete Product Range in This Collection

This collection includes: tactile push button switches (SMT 3×3mm, 4×4mm, 6×6mm; DIP 6×6mm, 12×12mm; various heights), DIP switches (2P–12P, standard and SMT), slide switches (SPDT PCB mount, DPDT panel mount), toggle switches (MTS-102, MTS-103, MTS-202, MTS-203 — SPST/SPDT/DPST/DPDT, ON-OFF, ON-ON, ON-OFF-ON), rocker switches (SPST, SPDT, with/without LED, multiple colors and sizes), illuminated panel push buttons (16mm, 19mm, 22mm, with LED), micro switches (V-series with roller lever, straight lever, pin actuator), and rotary switches (1P and 2P, 3–12 positions).

Switch Buying Guide

Step 1 — Choose switch function: SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) = simple on/off. SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) = changeover between two circuits. DPST = two independent on/off circuits switched together. DPDT = two independent changeover circuits switched together.

Step 2 — Momentary vs latching: Momentary switches return to their default position when released (e.g., push buttons, tactile switches). Latching switches stay in position until actuated again (e.g., toggle switches, rocker switches, slide switches).

Step 3 — Voltage and current rating: PCB-mount tactile and DIP switches are rated for logic-level signals (12–30V DC, milliamps). Panel-mount toggle, rocker, and push button switches are rated for mains voltage (125–250VAC) and higher currents (3–16A). Never use a logic-level switch for mains switching.

Step 4 — Panel cutout size: For panel-mount switches, verify the required panel cutout size before ordering. Standard rocker switches use 19mm×13mm or 21mm×15mm cutouts. Toggle switches use 6mm or 8mm round holes. Push buttons use 16mm, 19mm, 22mm, or 25mm round holes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a tactile switch and a push button switch?
A: Tactile switches are miniature PCB-mount momentary switches (typically 6×6mm or smaller) designed for low-current logic-level signals. Panel-mount push button switches are larger, designed for panel installation, and rated for higher voltages and currents. Both are momentary (return to default when released) but serve different applications.

Q: What does SPDT mean for a toggle switch?
A: SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) means the switch has one common terminal and two output terminals. In the ON-ON position, it connects the common to one output or the other. In ON-OFF-ON position, it has a center-off position. Used for changeover switching between two circuits.

Q: Can rocker switches be used for 240VAC mains switching?
A: Yes. Our rocker switches rated 250VAC/10A or 250VAC/16A are suitable for 240VAC mains switching in appliances and equipment. Always verify the current rating matches your load before installation.

Q: What is a DIP switch used for?
A: DIP switches are used for hardware configuration on PCBs — setting device addresses (e.g., I2C address selection), enabling/disabling features, selecting operating modes, and configuring communication parameters. They are set during installation and not intended for frequent switching.

Q: What micro switch is compatible with 3D printer endstops?
A: Standard V-series micro switches (e.g., Omron SS-5GL, Honeywell V-15G equivalents) with roller lever actuators are the most common 3D printer endstop switches. Our V-series micro switches with roller lever are direct replacements for most 3D printer endstop applications.
