Slide switch SS12D00G2

The Slide Switch SS12D00G2 is a type of SPDT (Single Pole, Double Throw) slide switch commonly used in various electronic devices. Slide switches are used to control the flow of electricity in a circuit by sliding the actuator, making them ideal for applications where a simple on/off or toggle function is required.

Key Features of SS12D00G2 Slide Switch:

1. Type:

   • This switch is a Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) slide switch. This means it has one input (pole) and two outputs (throws), allowing you to select between two different circuits.

   • It's commonly used for applications where you need to switch between two different states (e.g., ON/OFF, or changing between two different power sources).

2. Operation:

   • The switch is manually operated by sliding the actuator (a small lever) back and forth. When the switch is in one position, the circuit is closed and electricity can flow. In the other position, the circuit is open, and no current flows.

3. Size:

   • The SS12D00G2 switch is typically small, making it suitable for use in compact electronic projects or devices.

4. Voltage and Current Rating:

   • It is commonly rated for a voltage of 12V DC and can handle a current up to 0.5A, making it suitable for low-power applications.

   • Always check the specific datasheet for the exact voltage and current ratings, as these can vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

5. Pins/Leads:

   • The switch typically has 3 pins: one for the input and two for the output (one for each position of the switch). The pins are usually through-hole, making it easy to solder the switch to a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

6. Mounting Type:

   • The SS12D00G2 is usually designed for through-hole mounting, which means it has leads that pass through holes on the PCB for soldering.
