Dip switch and DIP switch should be merged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BenRG (talk • contribs) 7 October 2003
I don't really think it's necessary to list a few example devices the author is familar with that DIP switches were employed in - suffice to say that they are a very standard circuit component employed in many different devices and situations... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.68.31.231 (talk • contribs) 31 July 2006
First Sentence
editThe first sentence says that a DIP Switch is a set of electric switches. However, the subsequent paranthetical implies that the sentence should say that a DIP switch is an electric switch. Otherwise, the paranthetical seems redundant as the package it mentions would be the same as the set of switches. Ost316 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
What about these switches is "dual"? Clearly not the 2 values that can be set (ON & OFF) because the article says there are rotary versions with several settings. Clearly not the quantity of switches in the package because all the photo examples contain more than 2. So why are they called "dual" inline package switches?

how to slect the right number to ON.
editcould you explain it,how to slect the right number which number to ON and OFF? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.229.236.216 (talk) 18:33, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
PCB-mounted switches that are not in DIP layout
editWhat is the name of mounted switches that are not in DIP layout? --Abdull (talk) 23:20, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
Where is this switch used? --User:Bethany Kent (User talk:Bethany kent talk) 16:03, 16 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.27.37 (talk)
Off topic applications
editMany of the applications listed for the DIP switch seem unrelated to the subject of the switch itself, such as the talk about remote controls for light fixtures. (And the sentence about getting out of bed) - 69.205.103.99 (talk) 17:51, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
DIP shunts?
editShould this article also include a mention of DIP shunts? They are also dual in-line packages that serve the same function, except that they're effectively set-once: the ribbon-like wire connecting one side to the other is broken (with a ballpoint pen or similar) for 'switches' set to off.152.51.56.1 (talk) 17:50, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
