Switches Electronics 1 CVHS
Basic Elements of a Circuit • Three Essential Elements • Load • Complete Path • Power Source • Additional Elements • Control Device • Protective Device
Electricity Generation • Six Methods Used to Produce Electricity • Chemical • Magnetism • Heat • Friction • Light • Pressure
Basic Switch Function • To open and close a circuit • Open (no connection) • Closed (connection) • Control device • Does not consume power
Schematic Terms • Pole- what the switch armature is connected to •Throw- the closed position of the switch Pole Throw
Single Pole, Single Throw • SPST • 1 pole, 1 throw • Example- room lights
Single Pole, Double Throw • SPDT • 1 pole • 2 throws, 2 closed positions
Double Pole, Single Throw • DPST • 2 poles
Double Pole, Single Throw • Not 2 throws because of mechanical connection • Both armatures make contact at same time- one closed position
Double Pole, Double Throw • DPDT • 2 poles • 2 separate closed positions
Switch Styles Slide Toggle
Switch Styles Push On/Off Rocker
Other Switches • Momentary contact switches • Push button switches • Rotary switches
Momentary Contact • Push Button Normally Open • PBNO • Red in color
Momentary Contact • Push Button Normally Closed • PBNC • Black in color
Rotary Switches • Used for complex circuits • Can have multiple throws
Rotary Switch • Example- Stereo input selector
