Electric Switch
It is a control consisting of a mechanical or electrical or electronic device for making or breaking or changing the connections in a circuit.

Different shapes of Switches

Types Of Switches
On the basis of ampere there are two types of switches available in market for domestic purpose: 5/6 Amp Switches: It is used for domestic low loading appliances such as tv, table fan, charging etc. 15/16 Amp Switches: This is used for heavy loading appliances such as A/C, Refrigerator, washing machine, gyeser, oven, iron, heater etc.

MECHANICAL SWITCHES
ROCKER SWITCH: It is an ordinary light switch. It has two positions on or off. PUSH SWITCHES: This is a switch one push to activate TOGGLE SWITCHES: Toggle (handle) moves or swings to make or break the circuit. SLIDE SWITCHES: A slider moves linearly (slides) from position to position LIMIT SWITCH/ MICROSWITCH: It is used to limit something. It has a lever coming out of it that is easily pressed, e.g. by a gate opening or by a closed lid touching it.

The three legs on a micro switch are: NC Normally Closed NO Normally Open COM - Common

ELECTRICAL SWITCHES
Push To Break Switch: Current flows normally, but not when the button Is pushed Push To Make Switch: Current flows normally, but not when the button is pushed

SPST Switch (Single Pole Single Throw): It is used for on/off operation and have only one switch and one way to make a connection, e.g. a light in a bedroom.

 SPDT Switch (Single Pole Double Throw): It is used for on/off operation but have two switches and two ways to make a connection, e.g. a light in a hall that can be switched on and off from the hall or the landing.

DPST (Double pole Single Throw): It is a pair of SPST switches that operate together. Both are open or closed at the same time. DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw): It is a pair of SPDT switches that operate together. Switching the DPDT switch controls two circuits. It is usually used to change the speed or direction of a motor. E.g. when you switch on a hairdryer (with one mechanical switch) two electrical switches are activated inside one to turn on the fan and one to turn on the heat.
