SS-12 Mini Slide Toggle Switch SPDT 3-Pin 2-Position SMD 50VDC 0.3A (SS-12D06 / SS-12D07 / SS-12D10)

All three are SPDT 3-pin 2-position mini slide switches in the SS-12 family. They differ in actuator (toggle lever) height: SS-12D06 has a shorter actuator suited for low-profile enclosures, SS-12D07 is mid-height for moderate clearance, and SS-12D10 has a taller actuator for easier manual operation. All three share the same PCB footprint, so you can substitute variants without changing your board layout. Choose based on the clearance above your PCB and your enclosure panel thickness.

These switches are rated at 50VDC and 0.3A (300mA). They are designed for low-power signal switching — microcontroller I/O lines, LED enable circuits, sensor power rails, and similar applications. They are not suitable for mains (AC) voltage or high-current loads. Always verify your circuit's operating conditions against these ratings before use.

These are standard mini slide switches without an IP-rated enclosure or sealed housing. They are generally intended for indoor PCB and electronics applications. For outdoor use or environments with elevated humidity, applying conformal coating over the switch after installation or housing the PCB in a sealed enclosure is typically recommended to prevent corrosion or contact degradation.

Measure the available clearance between your PCB surface and the inside of your enclosure lid or panel. As a general guide: if clearance is tight (under ~5mm above the PCB), the SS-12D06 is typically the better fit. For moderate clearance (~5–8mm), the SS-12D07 works well. If you need the switch to protrude through a panel for easy finger operation, the SS-12D10's taller actuator is generally the right choice. Always cross-reference with the mechanical drawing for your specific variant before finalizing your PCB layout.

These are SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switches with three pins: Common (COM), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC). In position 1, COM connects to NC. In position 2, COM connects to NO. This makes them compatible with any circuit requiring a single-pole changeover switch, including Arduino/Raspberry Pi mode-select circuits, LED on/off control, signal routing between two outputs, and DIY electronics power switches.

Packs are available in 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, and 200 pieces. For a single prototype or repair job, 5–10 pcs is typically sufficient. If you're building a small batch of 10–20 units, 50–100 pcs gives you working stock plus spares. For ongoing production or stocking your parts inventory, the 200-piece pack offers the best per-unit value. Select your type and quantity from the variant dropdowns above.

The SS-12 series generally features through-hole leads with a pin pitch of typically 2.54mm (0.1"), which is compatible with standard breadboard spacing. You can insert them directly into a breadboard for prototyping before committing to a soldered PCB design. For final assembly, solder the leads directly to your PCB pads for a secure mechanical and electrical connection.
