8 Position Piano Type DIP Switch Right Angle Through Hole SPST Red PCB Code Switch

The MTDPR-08-V is an 8 position piano type DIP switch built on a 2.54mm (0.1") pitch footprint with right angle through hole terminals. Each of the 8 independent SPST ON-OFF circuits is actuated by a white side-lever key on a red flame-retardant housing, so operators can set an address, baud rate, or configuration code from the edge of the board — after the PCB is already mounted inside the enclosure.

Compared with a standard flat slide DIP switch, the piano (side-actuated) format keeps the operating face parallel to the front panel, which shortens assembly time and removes the need for a service technician to open the top cover. The part is RoHS compliant, supplied in anti-static tube packing, and is available for OEM / ODM customization in position count, housing color, and terminal plating.

• 8 independent circuits in one body — 8 x SPST ON-OFF, 256 selectable code combinations from a single component, reducing BOM lines versus discrete jumpers.
• Piano / side-lever actuation — the switch is operated from the board edge, so configuration stays accessible after the PCB is fitted into the housing.
• Right angle through hole terminals — standard 2.54mm grid, drop-in compatible with common DIP switch land patterns and reliable in wave-soldered assemblies.
• Clear ON / 1-8 legend — the white marking on the red housing stays legible in low-light cabinets and cuts down mis-setting during field service.
• Positive tactile detent — each key latches firmly in position, resisting accidental state changes caused by transport vibration.
• RoHS compliant & OEM ready — lead-free construction; position count, color, packing, and marking can be customized to your drawing.

• One-stop switch portfolio — piano type, slide type, rotary code, tact, rocker, micro and detect switches from one supplier, so you consolidate freight and paperwork.
• Sample support — free or low-cost samples for engineering validation before your production release.
• OEM / ODM capability — custom position count, terminal form, housing color, laser marking and private-label packing to your drawing.
• Stable delivery — production plan aligned to your forecast, with tube packing that feeds directly into automatic insertion lines.

A standard DIP switch is actuated from the top of the package. A piano type DIP switch uses side-mounted lever keys, so it is operated from the edge of the PCB. This lets you change settings through a front panel slot without removing the board or opening the top cover.

Each position is an independent SPST ON-OFF circuit, so 8 positions provide 2⁸ = 256 binary combinations — enough for device addressing, baud rate selection, or mode configuration on a single component.

The terminals are on the standard 2.54mm (0.1") grid used by mainstream DIP switch land patterns. Send us your footprint drawing or the competitor part number and we will confirm dimensional compatibility before you order.
