Pushwheel switches are rotary switches that operate using a rolling wheel. They are also known as thumbwheel switches

Rotary coded dual in-line package (DIP) switches are activated by a rotating shaft and have several stop positions. They use the DIP form factor so that arrays of multiple switches can be incorporated into a single package

Switches are devices that allow electric current to flow when closed and prevent current flow when opened. Switches, All Types are a high level search form that includes options for all switch types. Search forms for specific switch actuator types are also available

Pushbutton switches are mechanical switches defined by the method used to activate the switch. The activation method is typically in the form of a plunger that is pushed down to open or close the switch

Switch boots protect switches from contaminants such as dirt, dust, gas, and liquids.  They are generally tough, pliable silicone rubber devices for toggle, pushbutton, rocker and rotary switches

Rotary switches move in a circle and can stop in several positions. There are two basic styles: single-deck and multi-deck

VME switches and VXI switches are used in industrial systems to connect test points, or devices, to instruments for the purpose of testing, measuring or monitoring the system

Touch-sensitive and tactile switches operate by touching or pressing to make a connection. Touch-sensitive switches are touch-operated switches that do not have moving parts, while tactile switches are electromechanical and provide tactile feedback

Liquid level switches are used to detect specific liquid levels or interfaces between liquids. These level measurements are indicated via an electrical switching action

Reed switches are magnetically actuated switches. They are typically manufactured with two ferromagnetic reeds (contact blades), which are sealed in a glass capsule. In the presence of a magnet, the blades (contacts) close. 

Suppliers of membrane switches and keypad assemblies using flexible membranes, domed or flat switch profiles, and tactile and non-tactile switches and panels

Rocker switches are actuated by a standard or dual rocker or paddle

Toggle switches are actuated by moving a lever back and forth to open or close an electrical circuit

KVM switches are hardware devices that allow IT personnel to use a single keyboard, video monitor, and mouse (KVM) to control more than one computer at a time

Audio switch matrices are electronic switching instruments for interfacing audio signals in scanning, recording and analysis systems
