2. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

   Electrical installations. In building wiring, multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load from more than one location. A common application is in lighting, where it allows the control of lamps from multiple locations, for example in a hallway, stairwell, or large room.

3. Vandal-resistant switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandal-resistant_switch

   Vandal-resistant switches are often low-voltage, low current, so-called "signal" types intended to trigger a change in state, perhaps from "off" to "on" and vice versa. The mechanical types often have gold -plated contacts that do not corrode, to allow reliable low-power switching. [2] A few types are capable of switching 120 or 220 V AC power ...

4. Push switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_switch

   A push switch (button) is a momentary or non- latching switch which causes a temporary change in the state of an electrical circuit only while the switch is physically actuated. An automatic mechanism (i.e. a spring) returns the switch to its default position immediately afterwards, restoring the initial circuit condition. There are two types: [1]

5. Switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

   A switch normally maintains its set position once operated. A biased switch contains a mechanism that springs it into another position when released by an operator. The momentary push-button switch is a type of biased switch. The most common type is a "push-to-make" (or normally-open or NO) switch, which makes contact when the button is pressed ...

6. Membrane switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_switch

   The ASTM defines a membrane switch as "a momentary switch device in which at least one contact is on, or made of, a flexible substrate." A membrane switch typically has 5 or more layers made of flexible substrate. Common Membrane Switch Layers [2] •Graphic overlay: The top layer of a membrane switch is the graphic overlay. This layer serves ...

7. Miniature snap-action switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_snap-action_switch

   A miniature snap-action switch, also trademarked and frequently known as a micro switch or microswitch, is an electric switch that is actuated by very little physical force, through the use of a tipping-point mechanism, sometimes called an "over-center" mechanism. The defining feature of micro switches is that a relatively small movement at the ...
