DIP SwitchesSwitches are devices that are used to open or close an electrical circuit. They are commonly used to turn electrical devices on and off, and to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. There are many different types of switches, including toggle switches, push-button switches, and rotary switches.
DIP switches are a type of switch that is designed to be installed onto a circuit board. DIP stands for Dual In-line Package, which refers to the packaging of the switch, which consists of a row of switches that are mounted onto a circuit board. DIP switches are commonly used to configure the settings or modes of a device or system, by setting different combinations of switches to "on" or "off" positions. This allows the user to customize the behavior of the device or system without having to reprogram the device or make other physical changes to the circuit.
