Key Features
- ON-OFF-ON SPDT switching configuration with 3 stable positions for flexible signal or power path selection on PCB
- Through-hole PCB mount design provides secure mechanical attachment and easy hand-soldering for prototype and production boards
- Compact slide actuator body suitable for panel cutout or PCB-mount user interface controls in space-constrained enclosures
Applications
The TS03ABE is used in consumer electronics, audio equipment, and industrial control panels where a 3-position ON-OFF-ON manual selector switch is required on a PCB. Its SPDT configuration routes a single input to one of 2 outputs or disconnects entirely, supporting mode selection, input source switching, and circuit bypass functions. The through-hole mounting style suits hand-assembled prototypes and lower-volume production runs where PCB-mounted manual controls are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What switching topology does TS03ABE provide and how many stable positions does it offer?
The TS03ABE provides a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) ON-OFF-ON slide switch with 3 stable actuator positions. Position 1 connects the common terminal to output 1, position 2 disconnects both outputs (OFF), and position 3 connects to output 2, enabling source selection, bypass, or dual-mode control circuits in a single compact through-hole package.
Which circuit designs benefit from TS03ABE's ON-OFF-ON configuration versus a simpler ON-OFF switch?
Audio signal routing circuits, dual power-source selectors, and 2-mode feature switches benefit from the 3-position ON-OFF-ON topology of TS03ABE. Unlike a 2-position ON-OFF switch, the SPDT ON-OFF-ON allows selection between 2 active signal paths plus a neutral OFF state, eliminating the need for 2 separate switches to achieve the same 3-state control with a single 1.27 mm pitch PCB footprint.
How does TS03ABE's through-hole PCB mount style compare to SMT slide switches for prototype applications?
Through-hole mounting of the TS03ABE allows hand-soldering with standard 0.3 mm to 0.8 mm diameter solder wire, making it practical for rapid prototyping and rework without reflow oven equipment. SMT slide switches require solder paste and reflow, which adds tooling complexity for low-volume builds; the TS03ABE's through-hole leads also provide stronger mechanical bonding to the PCB under repeated actuation forces.
