Slide Switch

Slide switch is an electronic component used to control the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It is designed with a lever or slider that can be moved horizontally or vertically to open or close the circuit. When the slider is in the "on" position, the switch allows current to flow through, completing the circuit. Conversely, when the slider is in the "off" position, the switch interrupts the current flow, breaking the circuit. Slide switches are commonly used in electronic devices where manual control of power or signal routing is required, such as in portable electronics, appliances, and control panels. They offer a simple and reliable method of switching between different modes or functions. Slide switches come in various configurations, including single-pole single-throw (SPST) and single-pole double-throw (SPDT), allowing for different switching options to meet specific circuit needs.
