In electronics, a switch is an electrical component that can break an electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another. The most familiar form of switch is a manually operated electromechanical device with one or more sets of electrical contacts. Each set of contacts can be in one of two states: either 'closed' meaning the contacts are touching and electricity can flow between them, or 'open', meaning the contacts are separated and nonconducting.
A switch may be directly manipulated by a human as a control signal to a system, such as a computer keyboard button, or to control power flow in a circuit, such as a light switch. Automatically-operated switches can be used to control the motions of machines, for example, to indicate that a garage door has reached its full open position or that a machine tool is in a position to accept another workpiece. Switches may be operated by process variables such as pressure, temperature, flow, current, voltage, and force, acting as sensors in a process and used to automatically control a system. For example, a thermostat is an automatically-operated switch used to control a heating process. A switch that is operated by another electrical circuit is called a relay. Large switches may be remotely operated by a motor drive mechanism. Some switches are used to isolate electric power from a system, providing a visible point of isolation that can be pad-locked if necessary to prevent accidental operation of a machine during maintenance, or to prevent electric shock.

Dip Switch

Dip Switch

A DIP switch is a set of manual electric switches that are packaged in a group in a standard dual in-line package (DIP) (the whole package unit may also be referred to as a DIP switch in the singular). This type of switch is designed to be used on a printed circuit board along with other electronic components and is commonly used to customize the behavior of an electronic device for specific situations.

DIP switches are an alternative to jumper blocks. Their main advantages are that they are quicker to change and there are no parts to lose.

Toggle Switch

Toggle Switch

A toggle switch is a class of electrical switches that are actuated by a mechanical lever, handle, or rocking mechanism.

Interlock Switch

CZ-93 Safety Key Interlock Switch

Safety key interlock switches operate by detecting the opening of guards such as doors and gates. When the gate is open and the safety interlock is disengaged, its positive opening contacts shut down .

Safety key interlock switches are available in any of three retention forces: 7 lbs. to perform consistently and reliably on average size doors and gates, 22 lbs. to hold very heavy doors closed, and 2 lbs. for light plexiglass covers and guards

Rotary Switch/ Cam Switch

Rotary Switch/ Cam Switch

A rotary switch is a type of switch that is used on devices which have two or more different "states" or modes of operation, such as a three-speed fan or a CB radio with multiple frequencies of reception or "channels".

Three-deck roatary switch allows controlling three different circuit functionsA rotary switch consists of a spindle or "rotor" that has a contact arm or "spoke" which projects from its surface like a cam. It has an array of terminals, arranged in a circle around the rotor, each of which serves as a contact for the "spoke" through which any one of a number of different electrical circuits can be connected to the rotor. The switch is layered to allow the use of multiple poles, each layer is equivalent to one pole. Usually such a switch has a detent mechanism so it "clicks" from one active position to another rather than stalls in an intermediate position. Thus a rotary swich provides greater pole and throw capabilities than simpler switches do.

Foot Switch/ Pedal Switch

Foot Switch/ Pedal Switch

A footswitch is a rugged switch which is operated by foot pressure. An example of use is for the control of an electric sewing machine.
