Toggle Switch

There are many types of switch. Note that these pictures are not circuit diagrams. There is no way of specifying which switch to use for a circuit. It comes down to common sense. A toggle switch is a generic class of electric switch that uses a mechanical lever, handle or rocking mechanism to actuate it.
