PCB toggle switch

This miniature toggle switch features On-Off-(On), SPDT, straight PC terminal/quick connect, the mini PCB toggle switch widely used in industrial machinery and production lines to power lighting indicators and operations. 

SPDT toggle switch is convenient to use and locks into place to avoid accidental switching, toggle switch’s chromium-plated brass actuator is durable and corrosion-resistant. Through-hole terminals make it easy to mount the switch on a PCB (printed circuit board). It also has silver contacts for fast and reliable;

The ON-OFF-MOMENTARY two-way toggle switch is a versatile and essential component used in Eurorack and modular synth systems, as well as in various audio equipment. Its unique design allows users to toggle between different states—ON, OFF, and MOMENTARY—making it ideal for controlling a wide range of functions in audio and synthesizer setups. In this overview, we'll explore the functionality, benefits, and applications of this toggle switch, especially in the context of modular synthesizers and audio equipment.

Key Features

1. Three Position Switch (ON-OFF-MOMENTARY)

ON: The switch remains in the ON position, maintaining a constant connection.

OFF: The circuit is open, and no signal or power is transmitted.

MOMENTARY: A spring-loaded action that momentarily completes the circuit while held down, then returns to the OFF position once released. This position is especially useful for functions that require brief actions, such as triggering a sound or effect.

2.This switch features three distinct positions:

Durability and Reliability

Designed for use in both professional and DIY audio projects, this toggle switch is built to last. It's often made with high-quality materials like metal housing and robust contacts, ensuring long-term reliability even in demanding environments.

3. Compact Design

The switch is typically compact, making it suitable for integration into dense Eurorack or modular synth setups where space is at a premium. Despite its small size, it provides a tactile and responsive feel, ideal for both live performances and studio use.

4. Mechanical Feedback

The toggle switch provides a noticeable mechanical click or feedback when changing positions, offering clear tactile confirmation that the switch has been activated. This feedback is important for users who need to make precise adjustments during performances or recordings.

5. Easy Integration

The switch is designed for PCB mounting, making it easy to integrate into Eurorack systems, audio gear, or modular synthesizers. It typically comes with either through-hole or surface-mount pins, ensuring compatibility with various circuit board layouts.
