- Description:
- A sliding switch, also referred to as a toggle switch, is an electromechanical switch that controls the flow of electrical current by sliding a lever between two or more positions.
- Available in single pole, single throw (SPST) or single pole, double throw (SPDT) configurations, these switches offer versatility in circuit design and application, accommodating different requirements for circuit control and signaling.
- Sliding switches provide simple on-off control, making them suitable for a wide range of electronic devices and systems where power switching, mode selection, or circuit control is required.
- With varying current and voltage ratings, sliding switches can handle different load requirements, from low-power signaling applications to high-power switching applications in industrial machinery and consumer electronics.
- Available in through-hole or surface mount configurations, sliding switches offer flexibility in installation and integration into electronic assemblies and PCB layouts, catering to various manufacturing processes and design preferences.
