Adafruit SPDT slide switch .1 inch spacing 33g

Adafruit

Adafruit Breadboard-Friendly SPDT Slide Switch .1" 33g

SKU CH-FS1X-8B2DW

Breadboard-friendly SPDT slide switch with 0.1" spacing for on/off or selector use in prototyping projects

  • TypeEngineering Development Tools
  • 1" pin spacing fits standard breadboards perfectly
  • Easy slider action prevents accidental switching
  • SPDT configuration works as on/off or selector
  • Lightweight 33g component adds minimal bulk
  • Snap-in design secures firmly in solderless breadboards

Breadboard-Friendly SPDT Slide Switch

This Adafruit slide switch fits standard 0.1" spacing and snaps securely into solderless breadboards or perfboards. It provides a simple mechanical way to control circuit paths without soldering during prototyping. The switch weighs 33g and is ready for immediate use in development projects.

Ideal for prototyping and selector circuits

Engineers, students, and hobbyists building temporary circuits on breadboards will appreciate the positive tactile action that resists accidental toggling. Projects requiring surface-mount components, sealed enclosures, or automated switching should consider alternative solutions not addressed by this through-hole part.

Single-pole double-throw contact arrangement

The centre pin connects to either the left or right pin depending on slider position, delivering a true on/on selector function rather than a simple on/off break. Verify that your circuit requires this SPDT topology before integrating the switch into your layout.

Questions about this item

Does the switch arrive with any extra hardware or do I need to buy headers separately?

The switch itself has 0.1" spaced pins that snap straight into a solderless breadboard or perfboard, so no additional headers or accessories are required.

Should I pick this SPDT slide switch or a different type for a simple on/off power control?

This SPDT slide switch connects the middle pin to either the left or right pin depending on slider position, making it ideal for on/off or selector functions in breadboard and perfboard builds.

How does the 0.1" pin spacing behave once the switch is plugged into a live breadboard circuit?

The 0.1" spacing matches standard breadboard holes, so the switch seats firmly and makes reliable contact for on/off or selector switching without accidental flipping.
