Slide switch

The Slide Switch is a type of mechanical switch that allows users to control the flow of electrical current through a circuit by sliding a lever or button between different positions. It is commonly used for ON/OFF switching, mode selection, and other applications where a simple and reliable switch is needed. Slide switches are available in various configurations, including single-pole, double-pole, and multi-position types.

Key Features:

• Simple and reliable mechanical operation
• Available in multiple configurations and positions
• Compact design for easy integration into electronic devices
• Provides clear tactile feedback when switched
• Durable construction for long-term use

Technical Specifications:
