What are toggle switches?

Toggle switches are operated by moving a small lever or handle up and down or left and right, depending on the switch orientation, to make and break electrical circuits and control the flow of current to connected electrical devices. Maintained-contact toggle switches may be simple on/off switches or three-position switches with a center position. Toggle switches can

How do toggle switches work?

Toggle switches may have single-pole, single-throw (SPST), single-pole, double-throw (SPDT), double-pole, single-throw (DPST), or double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) circuitry. They can also be normally open or normally closed. A typical toggle switch is constructed with a lever, spring, O-ring, plunger, moving armature, case, base, and terminals.
