MSS-22C02 6-Pin SMD Slide Switch - 2-Position DPDT Miniature Switch

The MSS-22C02-6Pin is a miniature 2-position slide switch designed for surface-mount PCB applications where reliable mode selection or signal routing is required. Its 6-pin DPDT (double-pole, double-throw) configuration allows two independent circuits to be switched simultaneously between two positions, making it suitable for power selection, configuration settings, and signal-path control in compact electronic assemblies. The switch features a low-profile actuator and a compact body measuring approximately 7.15mm × 3.55mm, with a gull-wing SMD termination style that supports reflow soldering and automated assembly. Some datasheets rate the switch at 100mA and 12V DC, with a contact resistance of 70mΩ or less and a mechanical life of 10,000 cycles. The conservative 100mA/12V rating is therefore used in this content. Whether the application is a DIY electronics project, a laboratory prototype, or a control board requiring a compact manual selector, this 6 pin slide switch provides a dependable 2 position SMD switch solution with straightforward surface-mount integration.

Application

1. Power-source selection and battery configuration in portable electronic devices.
2. Mode and configuration settings on microcontroller and development boards.
3. Signal-path routing in test equipment, laboratory prototypes, and DIY projects.
4. Control panels and small industrial controllers requiring a two-position selector.
5. Space-constrained PCB layouts where a compact SMD slide switch is preferred over through-hole types.
