What is an Indicator?

Indicator lights are a type of illuminating device that are commonly used to signify that equipment is either receiving power or that there is some form of malfunction. We have all seen the red light come on when you power on a device. These indicator lights are designed for panel usage but they can be used in a wide variety of applications and environments.

What Do We Supply?

Our stock of electrical indicators includes:

Indicator lights

Neons

Signal lampholders

Vandal resistant indicator lights

Schurter SMT: Dip Switch

SMT Half Pitch DIP Switches for Space-Critical Applications

SMT Half Pitch DIP Switch
DTCD, DTCJ

1.27 mm half pitch for space saving
2.2 mm low profile design
SMD type terminal
High number of cycles

The DTCD and DTCJ 1.27 mm pitch DIP switches are ultra-miniature SMD components designed for high-density electronic applications. With a low profile height of just 2.2 mm and up to 46% PCB space savings compared to traditional 2.54 mm solutions, they enable significant footprint reduction without compromising functionality.

Available in Gullwing and J-bend terminations, both versions are optimized for automated SMT assembly, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost. The switches support up to 1000 mechanical cycles and operate reliably across a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. Low contact resistance (≤100 mΩ initial) and stable electrical ratings (up to 100 mA @ 50 V) ensure consistent signal performance.

Typical applications include address setting and configuration in industrial controls, communication systems (e.g., RS485/Modbus), server hardware (BIOS/CMOS), consumer appliances, and medical devices. Combining miniaturization, durability, and cost efficiency, DTCD/DTCJ provide a scalable solution for modern compact electronic designs.
