  2. Power symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_symbol

    IEC 60417-5008, [7] the power-off symbol (circle) on a button or toggle, indicates that using the control will disconnect power to the device. (0 or means off.) IEC 60417-5009, [8] the standby symbol (line partially within a broken circle), indicates a sleep mode or low power state. The switch does not fully disconnect the device from its power ...

  3. PS-ON Signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS-ON_Signal

    #PS_ON pin is marked by number 16. PS-ON Signal is a pin on a 20-pin or 24-pin ATX-specified power connector used to turn a personal computer power supply unit on/off. The PS_ON pin is normally pulled high in an open-circuit, but will turn on the power supply when it is pulled low, by shorting it to the common signal (COM).

  4. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    An intermediate switch can, however, be implemented by adding appropriate external wiring to an ordinary (six terminal) DPDT switch, or by using a separate DPDT relay. By connecting one or more 4-way (intermediate) switches in-line, with 3-way switches at either end, the load can be controlled from three or more locations.

  5. Integrated gate-commutated thyristor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_gate-commutated...

    It is related to the gate turn-off (GTO) thyristor. It was jointly developed by Mitsubishi and ABB. [1] Like the GTO thyristor, the IGCT is a fully controllable power switch, meaning that it can be turned both on and off by its control terminal (the gate). Gate drive electronics are integrated with the thyristor device. [2]

  6. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)

    These power supplies were generally not capable of power saving modes such as standby or "soft off", or scheduled turn-on power controls. Due to the always-on design, in the event of a short circuit , either a fuse would blow, or a switched-mode supply would repeatedly cut the power, wait a brief period of time, and attempt to restart.

  7. Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

    A double-throw switch has a contact that can be connected to either of two other contacts, a triple-throw has a contact which can be connected to one of three other contacts, etc. [3] In a switch where the contacts remain in one state unless actuated, such as a push-button switch, the contacts can either be normally open (abbreviated "n.o." or ...

  8. Power semiconductor device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_semiconductor_device

    A power semiconductor device is a semiconductor device used as a switch or rectifier in power electronics (for example in a switch-mode power supply).Such a device is also called a power device or, when used in an integrated circuit, a power IC.

  9. Gate turn-off thyristor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_turn-off_thyristor

    A gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) is a special type of thyristor, which is a high-power (e.g. 1200 V AC) semiconductor device. It was invented by General Electric . [ 1 ] GTOs, as opposed to normal thyristors, are fully controllable switches which can be turned on and off by their gate lead.
