The Great Search: SMT DIP Switch in 1.27mm pitch
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
SMT DIP switches are an excellent way to add quick configurability to a design - they are more compact than individual switches, more usable than cuttable pads, and less fiddly and error-prone than pin jumper shunts (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sullins-connector-solutions/NPC02SXON-RC/2618266). For a new design, there are 4 configurable switches but we wanted to keep the board nice and compact - so using 'full sized' 2.54mm SMT DIP switches (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-alcoswitch-switches/1-1825059-3/1021562) would take up half the PCB. Then we saw a design with a tiny SMT switch and realized that these handy components come in a compact 1.27mm size too! Let's go find one for our breakout at DigiKey.
