11TW1-5L

Toggle Switches

Toggle switches are manually operated switches with two positions for either on or off. When the switch is in the on position, a connection is made, allowing electricity to flow and power lights, appliances, and other electrical components. Conversely, when the switch is in the off position, the connection is broken, cutting off power.

A toggle switch is also called a rocker switch, because of its rocking mechanism. As the switch is flipped, the contacts move to make or break the connection. This makes them a reliable and durable switch, perfect for many applications.
