Toggle Switches

Toggle switches are switches with only two positions: open and closed. Although the definition has evolved over time, toggle switches now comprise any kind of switch that has a short handle and a positive, mechanical snap-action. A light switch is a common example of a toggle switch.

Toggle switches may use a lever, handle, or rocker to actuate the switch. In many cases, the term "toggle switch" is used to refer to a snap-action switch, or a switch that is designed to move its contacts very quickly from one position to another. Toggle switches are often used for quick switching, connecting, and disconnecting in cases when the control devices are mounted very closely to one another.

Toggle switches offer many favorable attributes. They are lightweight yet still durable. They are also extremely versatile, able to perform in many different applications. Toggle switches are often seen in automotives, electronics, appliances, power tools, video cameras, medical equipment, and hand-held devices that are user-interfaced.
