What is toggle switch?
A toggle switch is an electromechanical device used to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. It operates by flipping a lever or actuator, which opens or closes the circuit. Toggle switches can provide either a maintained (on/off) or momentary (temporary contact) action. They are commonly used in a variety of applications, including industrial controls, household appliances, electronics, and automotive systems, providing a simple and reliable means of controlling power. Toggle switches are known for their tactile feedback, often accompanied by an audible click, allowing users to easily identify the switch’s position.
