What should this go with. Going to have a small batch of these
Tough to see in pics but all are gold connections.

Location: I'm right here :D

are you saying the little switches have gold balls? (cause some of those style switches do)

I'm torn, I want to say high peripheral but it's kinda bare besides the pins (unless the switches have something) so may dip down to low peripheral.

Take 1 DIP switch apart. So you can verify that that particular style of DIP switch has the gold balls. I can only say this because I had a stash of DIP switches. Loose. In the total loose lot of about 25. I only found 2 with gold balls. The rest were gold contact. Silver contact. Gold pin. No gold pin yet with gold contact. Real variations. It depends on manufacturer. Etc. Etc. I put loose DIP switches in as Gold Connectors if pins are gold. Had no negative feedback.
Here to learn like everybody else.
