DIP Switch
DIP switch is a single device composed of a group of switches, which installed on PCB or test board. The switch position must be manually set, so it is easy to determine its state when the system is working, while the membrane keyboard and other devices are different, that the membrane keyboard must be polled by the microcontroller. This simplicity makes DIP switches very suitable for providing input to the basic system firmware, because it does not require high computing power to determine whether the switch is closed. The simplicity, flexibility and low cost of the DIP switch make it able to continue to be used in many electronic applications. These switches come in a variety of sizes, configurations, styles, and power ratings. Customers can choose the number of DIP switch positions according to the configuration requirements of the application. Some DIP switches can be actuated by hand, while some are require special tools or screwdrivers to change the switch position. HongKong JDG ...
