DIP & SIP Switches

DIP and SIP switches are small, manually operated switches used in electronic devices for the purpose of selecting various options or settings. The acronym DIP stands for Dual In-line Package, while SIP stands for Single In-line Package. Both types of switches consist of a series of tiny switch contacts arranged in a row that can be set to either an open or closed position.

DIP switches are typically used in older electronic equipment, such as computers and other devices that use integrated circuits. They are usually mounted on a small printed circuit board and can be set to a particular configuration by manually moving the tiny levers into the open or closed position.

SIP switches, on the other hand, are commonly used in a wide range of electronic devices, such as telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, and industrial automation. They are generally smaller than DIP switches and are often used in situations where space is at a premium. Like DIP switches, SIP switches are manually operated and can be set to an open or closed position to select a particular option or setting.
