  2. Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

    In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can disconnect or connect the conducting path in an electrical circuit, interrupting the electric current or diverting it from one conductor to another. [1][2] The most common type of switch is an electromechanical device consisting of one or more sets of movable electrical ...

  3. Electronic switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_switch

    A gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) is a bipolar switching device. Electronic switches may also consist of complex configurations that are assisted by physical contact, for instance resistive or capacitive sensing touchscreens. Network switches reconfigure connections between different ports of computers in a computer network.

  4. Light switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

    In electrical wiring, a light switch is a switch most commonly used to operate electric lights, permanently connected equipment, or electrical outlets. Portable lamps such as table lamps may have a light switch mounted on the socket, base, or in-line with the cord.

  5. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

    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 designs (tilt, displacement, radial, etc.) but they all share the common design strength of non-eroding switch contacts.

  6. 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.

  7. Electrical contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_contact

    An electrical contact is an electrical circuit component found in electrical switches, relays, connectors and circuit breakers. [1] Each contact is a piece of electrically conductive material, typically metal. When a pair of contacts touch, they can pass an electrical current with a certain contact resistance, dependent on surface structure ...
