Switches

Toggle switches and electronic switches are both essential components in electronic circuits for controlling the flow of electrical current. Toggle switches are mechanical devices that physically toggle between open and closed positions, manually activating or deactivating a circuit. They are commonly used in a variety of applications, from household appliances to industrial machinery. On the other hand, electronic switches, often semiconductor-based, operate electronically to control the current flow. These can include transistors, relays, or integrated circuits. Electronic switches offer advantages like faster response times and programmability, making them suitable for applications where precision and automation are crucial.
