2 Way Slide Switch 2.54mm Pitch (Pack of 5)

A 2-way slide switch with a 2.54mm pitch (pack of 5) is a set of five slide switches, each with two positions and a pitch of 2.54mm. Let’s break down what this means:

1. 2-way: This indicates that each switch in the pack has two positions or settings. It means you can toggle the switch between two different states.
2. Slide Switch: This refers to the type of switch mechanism. Slide switches are operated by sliding a lever or button from one position to another to change the state of the switch.
3. 2.54mm Pitch: This specifies the distance between the center of one pin to the center of the adjacent pin on the switch. A pitch of 2.54mm is a common standard for through-hole components on a circuit board. It’s the standard spacing that allows the switch to be easily mounted on a circuit board with standard hole spacing.
4. Pack of 5: This indicates that you’re purchasing a pack containing five individual slide switches.

These switches are often used in electronic projects where you need to manually select between two different options or states, such as turning a device on or off, selecting between different modes, or enabling/disabling certain features.
