DIP & SIP Switches

DIP (Dual In-line Package) and SIP (Single In-line Package) switches are electronic components used in circuit design for setting configuration parameters. DIP switches consist of a rectangular package with two parallel rows of electrical contacts, each connected to a binary-coded switch. These switches enable users to set binary values, facilitating configuration in digital systems. SIP switches, on the other hand, have a single row of switches in a linear package. Both DIP and SIP switches are manually adjustable and provide a compact means of configuring electronic devices, commonly employed in settings where physical hardware settings are preferred over software-based alternatives.
