Slide Switches and Coding Switches

Buy slide switches

Slide switches are electromechanical switches in which the switching function is performed by the linear movement of an actuator. They are ideal for applications that require clearly defined switching positions, such as on/off or changeover functions. Slide switches control electrical circuits in industrial, measurement, and entertainment electronics reliably and with long-term stability. They are easy to integrate and offer a cost-effective alternative to toggle switches.

Typical areas of application for slide switches include audio and video technology, device and machine construction, and laboratory and medical technology. They also ensure precise function selection in household appliances, lighting controls, and IoT prototypes. Thanks to their variable designs, they are suitable for use in precision engineering laboratories as well as in industrial automation. Their simple operation facilitates quick changeovers in series and test setups.
