Five DIP switches from CTS Corporation

DIP Switches

A dual in-line package switch (or simply DIP switch) consists of two parallel rows of switches, each of which can be in either an 'on' or 'off' position. This allows for a multitude of electrical settings that can be adjusted manually. DIP switches are a common sight in many electronic applications whereever manual circuit control is required. Our solutions come with SPST, SPDT, DPST and 3PST circuit switching options, various actuation styles and mounting configurations.

Selection of tactile switches in various shapes and sizes

Tactile Switches

A tactile switch provides a physical (tactile) feedback to the user when it is actuated, typically in form of a click or bump, indicating that it has been activated. It is usually constructed with a spring mechanism that generates the tactile feedback which in turn helps users confirm that the input has been recognized. Tactile switches are used far and wide in electronic systems and devices, whereever human-machine-interfacing (HMI) is required, and CTS offers multiple sizes, operating forces, actuator heights and life cycles to fulfill application needs.

Tactile Switches

Two rotary switches from CTS Corporation

Rotary Switches

Rotary switches are operated by turning a knob or lever, thereby changing the circuit settings of a given system as the user cycles through the various positions available. These switches offer an intuitive means of circuit control, and our rotary solutions feature a multitude of options for a customized user experience.

Toggle Switches

Toggle switches can be used in a wide variety of applications, from controlling lights and appliances to operating machinery and equipment. Our toggle switch selection provides the user with simple and intuitive means of operation with excellent feedback. All products are built with an robust internal structure which increases their operational life span, and come with an IP67 rating that ensures durability and dependable operation even in harsh environments.
