scope:

This specification covers the general requirements for DIP (dual in-line package) switches designed for direct insertion into printed circuit boards, plug in sockets components, and panel boards, primarily for use in electronic and communications equipment (see 6.1).

The style is identified by the four letter symbol, DIPS, followed by a two digit number. The letters identify low current, low voltage, dual in-line switches. The number identifies the design, indicating the basic physical, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of the switch, for example DIPS 02 (see 3.1).
