Configurable Switch Components - Body
Configurable switches are modular electromechanical switch systems that make sure the users configure a switch to meet their pre-defined requirements. The "body" components of such systems often hold the means of physically mounting a completed unit in the final application as well as the device's actuation mechanism and, if applicable, any illuminating mechanisms. The user-interactive actuator surface is frequently supplied separately but may alternatively be included with a body component. These products are highly suited for use in industrial control applications.
What is a switch component?
A switch is a device that regulates whether an electric circuit is open or closed. They enable a circuit's current flow to be controlled (without having to get in there and manually cut or splice the wires). Switches are essential components in every circuit that calls for human input or control.
Configurable switch design
The contacts on switches can work simultaneously, sequentially, or alternately, and they can have many sets of contacts that are all operated by the same knob or actuator. A switch can sense the location of a machine part, liquid level, pressure, or temperature, like a thermostat, or it can be manually activated, like a light switch or a keyboard button. Toggle switches, rotary switches, mercury switches, push-button switches, reversing switches, relays, and circuit breakers are only a few examples of the many specialized types. Lighting control is a frequent application in which several switches may be linked into a single circuit to provide practical control of light fixtures. To avoid destructive arcing when they are opened, switches in high-powered circuits need to be specially built.
Why is a configurable switch an important component in a circuit?
A switch is a component that monitors the entrance and exit of an electric circuit. They ensure control exceeds the current flow in a circuit. Switches are potential components that exist in any circuit that needs user monitoring or interaction.
A circuit with three major components:
- A conductive "path," such as cable and printed etches on a circuit switch.
- A "source" of electrical energy, such as an automobile battery or household application outlet.
- A "load" that requires electrical energy to ignite, such as a lamp.
