Probably off topic.

I need help identifying a switch type.

enter image description here

The switch in the picture is embed in a camera to define configurations to the hardware.

I would like to use this kind of switch in a project, but i need a light.

  • \$\begingroup\$ A light would be a Brazilian expression for help. Like, when is dark, you need a light to find the exit. Kind of a guide or explanation. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @ahwelp Simple DIP switches are just... switches. They have 2,3,4,5 etc. on/off contacts. Rotary switches have one common and several 'code' pins, while turning they connects 'code' pins to common pin creating regular combinations like binary or Gray code. \$\endgroup\$
