(Dual In-line Package switch) A set of tiny toggle switches built into a dual in-line package (DIP), which is mounted directly on a circuit board. The tip of a pen or pencil is used to flip the switch on (close the circuit) or off (open the circuit).

DIP switches provide an inexpensive way to select options on a hardware device, and many are still in use. However, programmable chips have replaced most DIP switches. Instead of opening the case, pulling the board and figuring out which switch to flip, settings are changed using a software control panel. See
