Classification by size

There are micro toggle switches, usually used for small electronic products such as smart watches, Bluetooth headsets, etc., these products have limited internal space and need smaller switches to save space.

There are also standard size toggle switches, which are used in some common electronic devices such as electronic game consoles, small electrical appliances, etc.

Classified by mode of operation

Vertical operation: The direction of the handle is perpendicular to the switch installation plane, this mode of operation is more intuitive, and the user can easily see the position of the handle.

Horizontal operation type: The toggle direction of the handle is parallel to the installation plane of the switch, and it is used in some cases where the appearance design of the equipment has special requirements, such as in order to make the surface of the equipment more flat, the horizontal operation type toggle switch is used.

3. Application scenarios

In the field of electronic devices: On computer motherboards, toggle switches can be used to set BIOS parameters, such as clearing CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) information. The circuit connection state can be changed by flipping the switch, so that some basic Settings in the BIOS can be reset.

In the field of industrial control: in automated production lines, toggle switches can be used to control the start, stop and forward and reverse rotation of motors. The operator can easily stop the motor operation when the equipment is abnormal by flipping the switch to ensure production safety.

Communication equipment field: In some old walkie-talkies, toggle switches are used for channel selection. Users can switch different channels by flipping the switch to realize communication with other walkie-talkies in different frequency bands.
