Slide switch Plastrol WS-1P W-10029 1‑pole through or end mount 2.5A 250V black

Plastrol WS-1P W-10029 is a one-pole slide switch designed for through or end mounting in compact electrical and electronic assemblies. Rated for 2.5 A at 250 V, this black mechanical switch provides a simple two-position on/off function with a low-profile actuator, making it suitable where space is limited and straightforward manual control is required.

Advantages

The slide switch offers a compact footprint and a robust mechanical action for reliable switching in low-current applications. Its through or end mount capability simplifies installation in panels, housings or PCB assemblies. With a clear on/off actuation and a durable housing, the component is easy to integrate into control panels, small appliances or instruments without the need for additional mounting hardware.

Suitable for

• Control panels and operator interfaces
• Small household or portable appliances
• Measuring instruments and test equipment
• DIY electronics projects and hobby circuits
• Signal routing and basic power switching in low-current circuits

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: single pole (1P)
• Mounting type: through-mount or end-mount compatible
• Rated current: 2.5 A
• Rated voltage: 250 V AC
• Actuator type: slide (two-position)
• Color: black

How to use

Install the slide switch in the panel cutout or PCB location that matches through or end mount requirements, ensuring correct orientation of the actuator for user access. Make electrical connections to the switch terminals using appropriate wire gauge for the rated current and secure solder or crimp joints to prevent intermittent contact. Verify the switch throws cleanly between positions and that the mounting is stable before applying mains voltage or connecting to live circuits.

Usage recommendations

Use the switch within its rated limits (2.5 A, 250 V) and in dry, protected environments to maximize mechanical life. For circuits near the rated current, choose appropriate wiring and consider adding fusing or protection to prevent overload. Perform functional checks after installation and before regular operation.
