Appearance and operation

Toggle switch:

In appearance, a toggle switch has a protruding button (toggle handle), usually in the shape of a rod or flat. This button is easy to toggle with your fingers, and the switch state can be changed by moving the button left and right or up and down during operation. For example, on the panel of some instrument devices, the buttons of the toggle switch are easily identified and operated, and their size and shape are designed so that the user can easily apply force with the finger tip to switch.

The operation of the button switch is relatively clear, and the user can obviously feel the switch between the buttons in different positions, and can intuitively determine whether the circuit is on or off according to the position of the buttons.

Common switch (take wall switch as an example) :

Wall switches are generally square or rectangular panels that are operated by pressing or flicking a relatively flat key or pick. For example, the common household wall light switch, the key is usually relatively wide, the operation is mainly pressed or flicking, and the operation of the button switch is different.

From the appearance point of view, the design of the ordinary switch pays more attention to the integration with the surrounding environment (such as the wall), while the button switch emphasizes the outstanding operating characteristics on the device panel.

Application scenario

Toggle switch:

Widely used in all kinds of electronic equipment power control, function switching and so on. On some older radios, toggle switches are used to turn power on and off, and to switch bands (such as medium wave and short wave). In the simple experimental circuit, the toggle switch is also used to control the current on and off, which is convenient for the experimenter to debug the circuit. It is also commonly used in some small electronic devices, such as electronic toys, to control different functional modes of toys.

Ordinary switch (take household socket switch as an example) :

It is mainly used to control the power supply of electrical equipment in the family. For example, install a switch on the socket in the bedroom to control the power supply of lamps, chargers and other devices. Ordinary switches are also used for lighting system control in buildings, such as corridor light。
