4 Way DIP Switch
A 4 Way DIP Switch is a compact, manual configuration switch featuring four individual on/off toggle positions. Commonly used for setting device addresses, enabling or disabling hardware features, and selecting modes in embedded systems, communication modules, and digital electronics. It provides a reliable, low-profile solution for configurable hardware settings without requiring software programming.
