2P4T Vertical slide switch 10 pin DIP Through Hole
The 10 pin vertical slide switch is a manual actuator designed for direct PCB insertion, offering secure circuit routing and dependable mechanical operation. Engineered for applications requiring compact, right‑angle board mounting, this switch is available in multiple pole/throw configurations and is widely used in audio selectors, instrumentation, communication equipment and industrial control panels.
Product Overview of the Vertical Slide Switch
A vertical slide switch is a through‑hole PCB component that changes electrical paths by sliding an actuator linearly along the board. The 10‑pin variant provides five or more independent circuit channels depending on the internal pole‑throw arrangement, enabling design engineers to manage multiple signals with a single compact component. Vistar’s vertical slide switch 10 pin series features precision‑stamped phosphor bronze contacts, high‑temperature PPS or PA66 housing, and a positive detent mechanism for crisp tactile feedback.
These switches are particularly valued in space‑constrained designs because the actuator moves perpendicular to the board plane, allowing side‑access operation while keeping the PCB footprint minimal. Typical configurations include SPST, SPDT, DPST, and DPDT with two or three positions, making them versatile for power routing, signal selection, and mode toggling. For detailed reference on switch terminology and usage, designers can consult the comprehensive switch guide on Wikipedia and application notes from NKK Switches, a respected manufacturer in the industry.
Vistar Electronics supplies fully tested vertical slide switches that undergo 100% continuity and mechanical endurance screening. Samples are available within 3 business days, and custom configurations (detent force, actuator length, plating) are supported for OEM projects.

Why Engineers Choose This Through-Hole Slide Switch
10‑Pin Multi‑Circuit Integration
A single through‑hole slide switch can replace multiple discrete switches, reducing component count and simplifying PCB layout in compact devices.
Robust Through‑Hole Mounting
Wave‑solderable terminals provide superior mechanical strength compared to SMT equivalents, making this high reliability switch suitable for applications subject to shock and vibration.
Positive Detent Action
A crisp, tactile click confirms each position change, preventing intermediate states and ensuring consistent electrical contact throughout the rated life.
Compact Vertical Orientation
The side‑actuated design minimises board surface occupancy, leaving more room for other components while maintaining easy finger or tool access.
Wide Operating Temperature
PPS insulator and high‑grade contacts ensure stable performance from -25°C to +70°C, with extended‑range versions available for industrial environments.
Fully RoHS & REACH Compliant
All materials are lead‑free and halogen‑free, meeting global environmental regulations. ISO 9001:2015 factory ensures consistent quality.
