Makers, electronics hobbyists, and small-batch PCB assemblers all run into the same wall: generic switches that are either too bulky, too fragile, or rated for the wrong load. These SS-12 mini slide toggle switches are built for exactly those situations — low-profile, solderable, and rated for the signal-level circuits that power most DIY and prototyping work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach switch in this listing is a 3-pin, 2-position SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) slide switch from the SS-12 family, available in three actuator-height variants: \u003cstrong\u003eSS-12D06\u003c\/strong\u003e (short actuator), \u003cstrong\u003eSS-12D07\u003c\/strong\u003e (mid-height actuator), and \u003cstrong\u003eSS-12D10\u003c\/strong\u003e (tall actuator).
