SS12D00 Mini Slide Switch ON-OFF — Compact 3-Pin PCB Toggle for Electronics Projects

When you need a reliable, space-saving power control in a tight PCB layout, a bulky toggle switch simply won't do. Makers, hobbyists, and electronics students working on Arduino builds, battery-powered gadgets, and DIY kits all face the same challenge: finding a micro slide switch that fits the footprint, survives repeated use, and solders cleanly without lifting pads. The SS12D00 mini slide switch ON-OFF was designed exactly for these scenarios.

Each unit is a 3-pin SPDT micro slide switch with a 3mm (≈0.12") actuator height above the PCB surface. The through-hole pins follow a standard 2.54mm (0.1") pitch, making them breadboard- and PCB-compatible out of the box. Available in packs of 1, 3, 5, 10, or 15 pieces so you can order exactly what your project requires — no waste, no shortage.

Typical use cases include Arduino and Raspberry Pi power switches, LED strip on/off control, RC model electronics, battery compartment cutoffs, and educational electronics kits. Whether you're prototyping a single device or assembling a small production run, these PCB mount slide switches keep your build clean and your circuit reliable.

🔌 Compatibility: Standard 2.54mm (0.1") through-hole PCB footprint — fits breadboards, perfboards, and most DIY PCB layouts. Rated for low-voltage DC signal switching (typically 0.3A / 6V DC). Not for mains voltage.

✅ Key Features of These SS12D00 Mini Slide Switches

  • 📐Compact 3mm Actuator — The low-profile 3mm (≈0.12") actuator sits flush enough for shallow enclosures and tight PCB assemblies where taller switches would interfere with covers or adjacent components.
  • 🔩Standard 2.54mm Pin Pitch — Through-hole pins spaced at 2.54mm (0.1") drop straight into breadboards and standard PCB footprints, eliminating the need for adapters or custom layouts.
  • ⚡SPDT 3-Pin Configuration — One common, one normally open, and one normally closed pin give you flexible ON-OFF or signal-routing wiring options in a single micro toggle PCB switch.
  • 🔄Positive Tactile Detent — The actuator snaps firmly between positions, reducing accidental state changes during handling — important for portable battery-powered devices that get moved around.
  • 📦Flexible Pack Sizes — Choose from 1, 3, 5, 10, or 15 pieces to match your project scale. Bulk packs lower the per-unit cost for classroom kits or small production runs.
  • 🛠️Solder-Ready Leads — Pre-tinned through-hole pins accept solder quickly and cleanly, reducing the risk of cold joints during hand-soldering on DIY electronics projects.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right quantity for my project?

For prototyping or one-off builds, a pack of 1 or 3 is typically sufficient. For production runs or classroom kits, packs of 10 or 15 offer better value per unit. Consider ordering a few extras — these small switches are easy to misplace during assembly.

What is the current and voltage rating of the SS12D00 slide switch?

The SS12D00 is generally rated for 0.3A at 6V DC in low-power signal switching applications. It is not designed for mains voltage or high-current loads such as motors or heating elements. Always verify the datasheet for your specific batch before use in any safety-relevant circuit.

Can this switch be used outdoors or in humid environments?

The SS12D00 is not rated for outdoor or high-humidity use. It is designed for indoor PCB-mounted applications in controlled environments. If moisture resistance is required, consider a sealed or IP-rated slide switch instead.

What PCB hole spacing and footprint does this switch use?

The SS12D00 typically uses a 3-pin through-hole footprint with 2.54mm (0.1") pin pitch, which is compatible with standard breadboards and most DIY PCB layouts. Confirm the exact footprint dimensions with the datasheet before ordering custom PCBs.

Is this a SPDT or SPST switch? What does the 3-pin configuration mean?

The SS12D00 is a SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switch with 3 pins: one common (COM), one normally open (NO), and one normally closed (NC). For simple ON-OFF wiring, connect your circuit between COM and either NO or NC, leaving the third pin unconnected.

What projects is this mini slide switch best suited for?

This switch is well-suited for Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects, LED circuits, battery-powered gadgets, RC model electronics, DIY electronics kits, and any low-voltage signal switching application where a compact PCB footprint is needed. It is not appropriate for AC mains or high-current DC loads.

How tall is the actuator and will it fit inside my enclosure?

The actuator height is approximately 3mm (≈0.12") above the PCB surface. The overall switch body is generally around 8mm (≈0.31") long. Measure your enclosure panel cutout carefully before mounting, as tolerances vary between enclosure manufacturers.
