What is a Connector?
A connector is an electromechanical device used to join two electrical parts together, generally this would be connecting a cable to a system or cable to another cable within an electrical circuit. There are many different types of connectors that can accomplish this. They can be used to connect power, data and fibre and can come in different shapes, sizes and materials. They can also be waterproof, dustproof and heat proof to various industry ratings. Our sales team is ready to help you with any queries.

The DMSD is a low-profile DIP switch featuring the industry-standard 2.54 mm pitch and gullwing SMD terminals for reflow soldering. It is designed for address selection, communication protocol configuration and functional parameter settings in industrial and electronic applications.
The product is available with 1 to 10 and 12 positions and uses SPST contacts. With a height of 3.6 mm, it supports space-efficient PCB layouts. Mechanical life is specified at 2,000 switching cycles with an operating force of ≤ 8 N. The operating temperature range extends from -40 °C to +85 °C. Initial contact resistance is ≤ 100 mΩ and remains ≤ 200 mΩ after the specified reliability tests.
Typical applications include industrial automation, building controls, servers, medical devices, robotics and consumer appliances. Common use cases are address configuration, RS485 and Modbus settings, BIOS/CMOS configuration and functional parameter selection. The standardized form factor and footprint enable straightforward integration into existing hardware designs.
