Key Features
- Rated 0.1 A at 30 V DC with low contact resistance for reliable low-power signal switching in portable electronics and instrumentation
- Through-hole mounting pins are compatible with standard wave soldering and hand-soldering processes, simplifying PCB assembly
- Compact slide actuator mechanism provides tactile feedback for panel-mount or PCB-level mode selection in consumer product designs
Applications
The SSSU022400 is used in portable audio equipment, handheld test instruments, and consumer electronics panels where a 0.1 A / 30 V slide switch selects operating modes or enables power circuits without requiring tool access. It appears on PCBs in laboratory power supplies and educational development kits as a user-interface input for circuit configuration. The through-hole construction and slide actuation make it suitable for front-panel controls on enclosures where pushbuttons are not appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the electrical ratings of the SSSU022400 slide switch?
The SSSU022400 is rated for 0.1 A at 30 V DC, making it appropriate for low-power signal switching in battery-operated equipment, microcontroller I/O mode selection, and portable audio devices where load currents remain well below 100 mA.
Is the SSSU022400 suitable for wave soldering in a through-hole PCB manufacturing process?
Yes, the SSSU022400 uses standard through-hole pins spaced for hand or wave soldering on 1.6 mm FR4 PCBs. Its housing is rated to withstand the thermal exposure of a wave solder process, typically 260°C for up to 10 seconds, without mechanical deformation or contact resistance degradation.
In which applications is a 30 V slide switch like the SSSU022400 preferred over a pushbutton or toggle switch?
Slide switches are preferred over pushbuttons in applications where the switched state must remain visually obvious to the user without powering the circuit, such as a 30 V test instrument channel selector or an audio equalizer mode selector. Unlike toggle switches, the low-profile SSSU022400 fits on PCBs with panel clearance of less than 10 mm, making it ideal for slim portable devices and evaluation boards.
