Slide Switches are compact and versatile components used to control circuits by sliding an actuator back and forth. Commonly found in consumer electronics, medical devices, and telecommunications equipment, these switches provide a straightforward interface for toggling between states.

Leading manufacturers such as C&K, TE Connectivity, and E-Switch produce high-quality slide switches in various sizes and configurations. Options include different actuator lengths, mounting styles, and contact arrangements to suit specific application needs.

Key considerations when selecting slide switches include current and voltage ratings, actuation force, and environmental sealing. With their easy operation and reliable performance, slide switches are a preferred choice for many applications.
