About Switches
Switches are used to allow electric current to flow when closed. When opened, they prevent current flow. Common switch types include pushbutton, rocker, toggle, rotary coded DIP, rotary DIP, key lock, slide, snap action, and reed. Pole and throw configurations for switches include single pole single throw (SPST), single pole double throw (SPDT), double pole single throw (DPST), and double pole double throw (DPDT).
Pushbutton switches are mechanical devices where the activation method, typically in the form of a plunger, is pushed down to open or close the switch. Rocker actuators are familiar in many on-off switches; they rock or pivot about the centerline, and include both maintained and momentary contact types. By contrast, toggle switches have a toggle that moves or swings to make or break the circuit.
