Switch Education

• Anatomy of a Switch
• Actuator Toggle, Pushbutton, Rocker, Lever
• Moveable Contacts Gold, Silver, Nickel
• Terminal Types Metal portion of the switch
  exterior to body that is used to connect the
  switch to an electrical circuit
• Screw (standard or Clamp), Solder, Quick
  Connect, Wire leads, Plug In, Wire Wrap

Switch Education

• What is a Switch?
• A switch is a device that will either open or
  close a circuit. The switch will establish a
  connection between two or more circuits
• Poles Number of circuits a switch controls
• Throws Number of conductors to which a switch
  can complete a circuit
• Positions Number of stops the switch actuator
  makes
• Normally Open (NO)-circuit is open when actuator
  is in relaxed or normal position
• Normally Closed (NC)-circuit is closed when
  actuator is in relaxed or normal position

Switch Education

• Switch Rating Maximum electrical load the switch
  is capable of handling
• Voltage
• AC Alternating current (minimum UL requirements)
• Horsepower
• DC Direct Current (minimum UL requirements)
• Horsepower (for switches designed to control
  small motor loads)

5
Switch Education

• Contacts
• Gold Flash A plating of gold typically less than
  10 millionths thick. Used only as a barrier to
  oxidation or corrosion of terminals to maintain
  solderability
• Gold plating should be used when the switchs
  voltage and current multiple is no greater than
  0.4 VA and the voltage is not greater than 20 VDC
  or peak AC.

Switch Education

• Momentary Vs. Maintained
• Single Pole Single Throw SPST (two
  position)/On-Off
• The is the simplest and most basic circuit. Only
  one circuit is closed by the switches single
  pole.
• Double-Throw Without Center Off (two
  position)/On-ON SPDT
• It is seen electrically On-On. The switch has
  two manual positions and reflects two independent
  electrically ON positions. Two circuits can be
  closed by the switches single pole. Examples of
  applications include a selector function, such as
  6 or 12V on a battery charger or Hi-Low on a
  automobile headlight switch.

Switch Education

• Double-Throw with Center Off (three position)
  Hi-Off-Low
• It has two independent ON switches, it can be
  considered On-Off or Hi-Off-Lo Circuit for the
  exhaust fan in a kitchen range hood.
• Double-Throw Momentary Action with Center Off
  (three position)
• Momentary or non maintained. Momentary is
  electrically On or Off, generally has spring
  loading. Examples are UP-Down for projector
  screens, tailgate windows, and forward/reverse
  for electric drills and screw drivers
• Important to Know We can modify..
