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

Three phase uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are devices that operate in conjunction with existing electrical systems to provide power conditioning, back-up protection and distribution for electronic equipment loads

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

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

Rotary limit switches use physically-actuated levers to rotate a shaft and operate the contacts in a switch, making them change state

Linear limit switches are electromechanical devices that require physical contact between a target object and switch activator to make the contacts change state

Slide switches are mechanical switches defined by their method of activation. The switch is a slider that moves (slides) from position to position. 

Thermostats and thermal switches are electro-mechanical on/off switches that are activated by temperature changes. They are typically used to control heating and cooling systems

GPIB switches enable several GPIB controllers to share one or more GPIB devices. They also allow a single GPIB controller to operate multiple GPIB bus systems

IC analog switches are integrated circuits (ICs) that allow electric current to flow when closed and prevent current from flowing when open. They are often used to interface analog signals to digital controllers

Zero speed switches are devices used to detect stoppage of a rotating shaft. They typically have one or more relays

High voltage relays are used to transfer power for high voltage and high frequency applications. They are heavily insulated and consist of strong materials to increase contact life.

Linear slides are simple linear motion devices composed of a stationary base and a moving carriage. Linear stages are slides with a drive mechanism that provide controlled, precise positioning along a linear axis.

Diodes are electronic components that conduct electric current in only one direction, functioning as a one-way valve. Diodes are manufactured using semiconductor materials such as silicon, germanium or selenium and are used as voltage regulators, signal rectifiers, oscillators and signal modulators / demodulators
