🔌 LilyPad ON/OFF Slide Switch Module

The LilyPad ON/OFF Slide Switch Module is a compact, sewable switch designed for LilyPad Arduino and wearable electronics projects. It provides a simple, reliable way to manage power in low-voltage DC circuits, making it ideal for microcontroller prototypes and e-textiles. Use it to cleanly toggle power to boards, modules, and electronics components in your project with a smooth slide action.

✨ Key Features

• Slide switch mechanism for intuitive ON/OFF control—quick, tactile power gating with a simple thumb slide.
• Compact, low-profile footprint tailored for wearable electronics and fabric integration.
• Easy installation with clearly marked pads for input/output routing to LilyPad Arduino boards or other circuits.
• Battery-life savings by disconnecting power when not in use—reduce standby drain in portable builds.
• Sewable or solderable connections for flexible assembly in textiles, prototypes, and teaching labs.

🧵 Designed for Wearables

Optimized for e-textiles, this module integrates seamlessly into clothing, accessories, and soft goods. Its slim shape and sew tabs support conductive thread or wire, keeping assemblies neat and comfortable.

🔧 Compatibility & Use Cases

• Works with LilyPad Arduino boards and other low-voltage microcontroller platforms.
• Useful in Arduino-based and Raspberry Pi accessory projects as an inline low-voltage power switch.
• Ideal for battery-powered wearables, classroom demos, rapid prototyping, and compact modules needing discrete power control.
• Routes low-voltage DC (typical of coin-cell and Li‑Po powered builds) to enable safe and simple power management.

🪡 Installation & Connection

• Connect the supply input to one pad and the switched output to the other pad to control downstream boards or electronics components.
• Use conductive thread for sewable builds or fine-gauge wire for soldered prototypes.
• Mount along the garment edge or an accessible spot for easy user interaction.

⚙️ Notes & Best Practices

• Designed for low-voltage DC circuits only. Do not use with mains AC.
• Keep load currents within the typical limits of small slide switches; suitable for low-current wearable and microcontroller applications.
• Place the switch in series with the battery’s positive rail to control system power, or inline with a specific module for selective enable/disable.
