Switch

Switch

Switches translate user intent into electrical signals, providing reliable on/off, selection or momentary actions for a wide range of electronic and robotic builds. Common types include slide, toggle, rocker and tactile switches, each offering distinct actuation styles and contact configurations such as SPDT, 3‑pole‑double‑throw or multi‑directional inputs. Their compact footprints and standard pin spacings make them easy to mount on breadboards, PCBs or panel cut‑outs, while surface‑mount variants enable tight integration in handheld devices. Performance considerations focus on voltage and current ratings, contact bounce, and mechanical durability, especially for applications that demand frequent cycling or harsh handling. Compatibility with common header formats and the availability of indicator LEDs or lever extensions further simplify wiring and visual feedback in control panels, sensor arrays and user interfaces.

Barrel Jack Power Switch - M-F (3")

Code: SKU-001099

We use barrel jacks a lot around here and sometimes we need to pop a switch into the mix. That usually means hacking up a perfectly good barrel jack extension cable but the whole point of using the barrel jacks was so that we wouldn't have to hack things apart...
