These small single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) slide switches are rated for 300 mA at 50 VDC and make great on/off power switches for low power electronics. They can also be used as a convenient way to choose between two analog or digital input signals. The three pins have a 0.1″ spacing that works with standard solderless breadboards. These switches are sold in packs of 3.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-1408:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-1408:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

| Mini slide switch in a solderless breadboard. |

These small single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) slide switches are rated for 300 mA at 50 VDC and have a 0.1" pin spacing that works with standard [solderless breadboards](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/breadboards.html). Used alone, they make great on/off power switches for low power electronics or offer a convenient way to switch between two analog or digital input signals. The switch can also be combined with a MOSFET to make a higher-power switch (see Pololu's [Mini MOSFET Slide Switch with Reverse Voltage Protection](https://core-electronics.com.au/mini-mosfet-slide-switch-with-reverse-voltage-protection-sv.html) for an example using a smaller, surface-mount slide switch). They are sold in **packs of 3**, so ordering one of this product gets you three switches.
