GCT Slide Switches
GCT Slide Switches are available in SPDT, DPDT, and multi-throw options in vertical and right-angle formats. These switches control circuits by moving a sliding actuator to connect or isolate electrical paths, enabling functions such as power on/off, mode selection, and configuration switching. The slide switches provide both surface-mount and through-hole mounting options to suit a wide variety of PCB layouts. These switches support a range designed for straightforward integration into new or existing PCB designs. The slide switches feature multiple actuator lengths, enabling mechanical alignment with enclosure openings or user interfaces, while the compact footprints support space-constrained layouts.
The slide switches offer switching durability rated up to 10000 cycles and voltage ratings up to 50V, providing a practical solution for low-power control functions. Typical applications include mode selection switches, configuration or setup switches, consumer electronics, portable devices, IoT, home appliances, and embedded electronics.
