This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the [Switch Kits](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/switch-kits/678) category on [DigiKey.com](http://DigiKey.com)

> Switch kits typically contain one type of switch (tactile, pushbutton, slide, etc.), but can have a mix of current and voltage ratings along with circuit and mounting types. Each kit has varying quantities of switches in them. There are panel mount, through-hole, surface mount, R/A, and snap-in available. Circuit types include an assorted mix, SPDT, SPDT-NO, and SPST-NO.

  

**Selection**** Characteristics**

> **Kit Type:** A general description of the function and contents of the kit.

> **Quantity:** Indicates the number of pieces contained in the kit.

> **Current - Switching:** The maximum current the switch is rated to interrupt. Indicates the span of current switching values in the kit.

> **Voltage Rating - AC:** Typically this represents the maximum AC voltage rating to which a device will meet its given specifications. Exceeding this voltage rating may damage the device and other system components. Indicates the span of AC voltage values included in the kit.

> **Voltage Rating - DC:** Typically this represents the maximum DC voltage rating to which a device will meet its given specifications. Exceeding this voltage rating may damage the device and other system components. Indicates the span of DC voltage values included in the kit.

> **Actuator Type:** Form factor of the device’s mechanical interface.

> **Circuit:** Describes device function in terms of a number of poles and throws, as is typical for mechanical switches. For more information please see: [Switch Basics, Examples of Pole and Throw](https://forum.digikey.com/t/switch-basics-examples-of-pole-and-throw/18150)

> **Mounting Type:** Indicates how the devices in the kit can be attached.

> **Termination Style:** Selection of termination style used to connect the device to a system, such as PC pin, quick connect, or wire leads.
