A slide-style DIP switch soldered into a printed circuit board (PCB) Schematic symbol for each individual switch. A DIP switch is a manual electric switch that is packaged with others in a group in a standard dual in-line package (DIP). The term may refer to each individual switch, or to the unit as a whole.
Skinny dual in-line package (SDIP or SPDIP [6]) – Sometimes used to refer to a "narrow" 0.300 in. (or 300 mil) wide DIP, normally when clarification is needed e.g. for DIP with 24 pins or more, which usually come in "wide" 0.600 in wide DIP package. An example of a typical proper full spec for a "narrow" DIP package would be 300 mil body ...
"VGA adapters" (i.e. DA-15 to DE-15 dongles) were available but sometimes monitor-specific, or they needed DIP switch configuration, as the Macintosh's monitor sense pins [20] in particular were not identical with a VGA connector's DDC. The earlier Apple IIGS used the same physical DA-15 connector for the same purpose but with an incompatible ...
Simplified single line diagram of a single-phase transfer switch to select either 'city' (utility) power or local generator power 3-phase Intelligent transfer switch. A transfer switch is an electrical switch that switches a load between two sources. Some transfer switches are manual, in that an operator effects the transfer by throwing a ...
In building wiring, multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load from more than one location.A common application is in lighting, where it allows the control of lamps from multiple locations, for example in a hallway, stairwell, or large room.
A voltage sag (U.S. English) or voltage dip [1] (British English) is a short-duration reduction in the voltage of an electric power distribution system. It can be caused by high current demand such as inrush current (starting of electric motors, transformers, heaters, power supplies) or fault current (overload or short circuit) elsewhere on the system.
The pin assignment of this early series differed from the de facto standard set by the later series in DIP packages (in particular, ground was connected to pin 11 and the power supply to pin 4, compared to pins 7 and 14 for DIP packages). [5] The extremely popular commercial grade plastic DIP (7400N) followed in the third quarter of 1966. [18]
The infinite switch itself was described in a 1975 patent of George F. Esker Jr. and Otto J. Cousins of the Harper Wyman Company. This switch would reset itself as the bi-metallic strip cooled, provided a cycle of calibrated opening and closing. It also provided an indicator light that remained on as long as the knob was not in the closed position.
