2. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

   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. In contrast to a simple light switch ...

3. Switch - Wikipedia

   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 is activated.

4. Light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

   Vintage push-button light switches. The push-button light switch has two buttons: one that closes the contacts and one that opens the contacts. Pushing the raised button opens or closes the contacts and pops out the previously depressed button so the process can be reversed. In the U.S., the buttons were commonly black; the "on" button ...

5. Analogue switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogue_switch

   An analogue switch, also called a bilateral switch, is an electronic component that behaves in a similar way to a relay, but has no moving parts. The switching element is normally a pair of MOSFET transistors, one an N-channel device, the other a P-channel device. The device can conduct analog or digital signals in either direction when on and ...

6. 3-way lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-way_lamp

   3-way lamp. A 3-way lamp, also known as a tri-light, is a lamp that uses a 3-way light bulb to produce three levels of light in a low-medium-high configuration. A 3-way lamp requires a 3-way bulb and socket, and a 3-way switch. In 3-way incandescent light bulbs, each of the filaments operates at full voltage.

7. Solid-state relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_relay

   Solid-state relay. A solid state relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device that switches on or off when an external voltage (AC or DC) is applied across its control terminals. They serve the same function as an electromechanical relay, but solid-state electronics contain no moving parts and have a longer operational lifetime.
