Slide Switches

Slide switches are electronic switches that are activated by sliding a lever back and forth. They are commonly used in a variety of applications, such as consumer electronics, industrial control systems, and home appliances.

Slide switches typically consist of a housing, a slider lever, and a set of electrical contacts. When the lever is slid in one direction, it completes a circuit between the contacts, allowing electrical current to flow through the switch. When the lever is slid in the opposite direction, the circuit is broken and the current stops flowing.

Slide switches come in different configurations, including single-pole, double-pole, and multi-pole switches. They also come in different contact arrangements, such as make-before-break, break-before-make, and center-off switches.

Slide switches offer several advantages over other types of switches. They provide a simple and intuitive means of controlling circuits, and they offer tactile feedback that can help to ensure reliable operation. They are also highly durable and can withstand frequent use and harsh environments.
