SK-12F16 Side-insertion Slide Switch (1P2T/1 Pole 2 Position 3 Pin/DIP Side-insertion Type/With Bent Side Fixing Legs/Handle Length Customizable/Free Samples)
Sinyin SK-12F16 side-insert toggle switch | 1P2T 3Pin through-hole right-angle pin | dedicated side-insert metal folded fixing foot | resistant to high lateral force | free samples and CAD/3D drawings
Sinyin Electronic Original SK-12F16 is a DIP side-insertion type 1P2T (1 pole 2 position 3 Pin) slide switch. The product specifically adopts a side-insertion metal shell with bent fixing legs design, allowing lateral insertion into extremely narrow PCB board edges to create strong mechanical through-hole pull force. The 3 bent pins provide stable conduction, with high-thickness silver-plated contacts and contact resistance ≤30mΩ. Handle length (2.0-10.0mm) and shape support customized mold development. Specifically designed for space-constrained ultra-thin small appliances, portable medical instruments, security anti-tamper modules, and electronic toys that require lateral insertion with anti-peeling resistance. Compliant with RoHS 2.0/REACH regulations, with free 2D/3D model downloads available.

[Structural Features] SK-12F16 DIP Board-edge Side-insertion Slide Switch (1P2T / 1 Pole 2 Position 3 Pin)
SK-12F16 Side-insertion Slide Switchis a specialized component developed by Sinyin Electronic fordevices requiring PCB board-edge lateral mounting, extremely limited space, and strict requirements for lateral peel-off resistance. Unlike ordinary horizontal bent-pin switches, SK-12F16 adopts a dedicatedside-insertion bent metal shell wrapping-leg structure。
. When the switch is inserted into the PCB board edge, the reinforcing legs at both ends can firmly grip or snap into the board-edge through-holes. After soldering, they can withstand high-intensity frequent push-pull forces from the handle direction, effectively protecting the 3 central conductive pins from lifting or desoldering due to external forces.
---[SK-12F16 Side-insertion Version Core Engineering Advantages]
- 1. Side-Mount Locking: The two side shells extend with a unique side-insert angled solder foot, which, after being inserted into the PCB edge, forms a mortise-and-tenon-like mechanical lock with the board surface, achieving a lateral peel resistance of up to >40N。
- 2. Excellent Board-Edge Fit: Specifically designed for layouts that hug the PCB edge, the shell offers comprehensive coverage without encroaching on the space of surrounding SMD components, greatly enhancing PCB surface utilization.
- 3. Contact Oxidation Resistance and Low Impedance: The internal sliding contacts and terminals are treated with multiple layers of thickened silver plating, resulting in extremely low contact resistance (≤30mΩ), maintaining good conductivity and crisp detent feel even under frequent switching.
- 4. Customizable Shaft Length and Handle Shape: Handles are available in lengths from G=2.0mm to 10.0mm, with support for custom styles such as flat or fluted handles, ensuring precise alignment with side-wall openings of various product enclosures.
