2.1mm DC Power Jack with Slide Switch

Elmwood Electronics has stopped accepting orders. This product might be available at PiShop.ca. Please check this blog post about our recent team merger.

This brilliant invention is a blessing for makers designing or using boards with standard 2.1mm DC barrel jacks. Many devices opt against a proper power switch, for size or cost or other design reasons. So, you're expected to unplug when not in use. But you want something a little fancier! This 2.1mm DC Power Jack with Slide Switch has the same PCB layout as classic non-switched jacks but has a li'l extra on top - a labeled slide switch!

The slide switch does exactly what you'd expect: plug in your power supply (up to 16 VDC, 3A) and switch power on and off. On and off! On and off all daayyy-o. You can clicky-clack to your maker heart's delight! We swear we're not pulling your lead--I mean, leg, this has a seriously satisfying clack.

We also have a version with a rocker switch here!
