Types of Switches
A switch is a type of electrical component that is designed to break an electrical circuit and interrupt a current by diverting it from one conductor to another one. The actual mechanism of the switch may or may not be operated directly by a human being or to control a circuit for instance. Other types may be operated remotely by a human operator, or automatically by a robot or an operating system or procedure. Switches can be designed to be used with a varying range of currents or voltages. One of the most familiar types of switch is the manually operated electromechanically device which contains one or more sets of electronic contacts that are connected to external circuits.
