2. Light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

   This type of switch is mounted on the power cord, both in middle or at the end. They are light weight, and they are used mainly for low power devices, like table lamps, table fans, radios and many other low power devices. Usually they are single pole single throw, but can also double pole single throw.

   Single pole, single throw: One-way: Two-way: A simple on-off switch: The two terminals are either connected together or disconnected from each other. An example is a light switch. SPST-NO. Form A [4] Single pole, single throw, normally open A simple on-off switch. The two terminals are normally disconnected (open) and are closed when the switch ...

4. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

   In contrast to a simple light switch, which is a single pole, single throw (SPST) switch, multiway switching uses switches with one or more additional contacts and two or more wires are run between the switches. When the load is controlled from only two points, single pole, double throw (SPDT) switches are used.

   Single-pole switches are most commonly used to control circuits. These switches isolate only the line conductor feeding the load and are used for lighting and other smaller loads. For larger loads like air conditioners, cookers, water heaters and other fixed appliances a double-pole switch is used, which also isolates the neutral for greater ...

   A Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) mercury switch on millimetre graph paper, device length approximately 1.5 cm Another mercury switch design. A mercury switch is an electrical switch that opens and closes a circuit when a small amount of the liquid metal mercury connects metal electrodes to close the circuit. There are several different basic ...

   Below is a list of typical switch configurations and usage: Single pole, double throw (SPDT or 1:2) switches route signals from one input to two output paths. Single pole double throw (SPDT) switch from Agilent Technologies. Multiport switches or single pole, multiple throw (SPnT) switches allow a single input to multiple (three or more) output ...
