Würth Elektronik SPDT Slide Switch, On-On, 500mA 12V DC

The Würth Elektronik WS-SLTV Slide Switch is a high-precision, straight miniature component designed for reliable circuit control in compact spaces. Its through-hole version with opposite side connection ensures stable mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs). The switch features a Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) contact configuration with an On-On operation, providing a simple two-position control function.

Constructed for durability, the switch boasts gold-plated contacts for excellent conductivity and reduced signal loss. The contact rating is 500mA at 12V DC, making it suitable for a variety of low-power electronic applications. The housing is made from PA66 material, which is UL 94 V-0 rated for flame retardancy, ensuring safety in sensitive environments.
