  2. Reference designator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator

    A reference designatorunambiguously identifies the location of a componentwithin an electrical schematicor on a printed circuit board. The reference designator usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number, e.g. C3, D1, R4, U15. The number is sometimes followed by a letter, indicating that components are grouped or matched with ...

  3. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    A pressure switch is a form of switch that operates an electrical contact when a certain set fluid pressure has been reached on its input. The switch may be designed to make contact either on pressure rise or on pressure fall. Pressure switches are widely used in industry to automatically supervise and control systems that use pressurized fluids.

    Reed switch. (from top) Single-pole reed switch, four-pole reed switch and single-pole reed relay. Scale in centimeters. Reed switch, contact detail. Commonly-used circuit symbol. Operation of the reed switch. The reed switch[i] is an electromechanical switch operated by an applied magnetic field. It was invented in 1922 by professor Valentin ...

  5. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

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

  8. Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

    v. t. e. 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 ...

  9. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    Diagram symbols for pressure reduction and back pressure regulators. The conceptual difference is mainly in which side the feedback is taken from. A pressure regulator is a valve that controls the pressure of a fluid to a desired value, using negative feedback from the controlled pressure. Regulators are used for gases and liquids, and can be ...
