Switches or switches<\/i> are devices that act as connectors and circuit breakers.<\/span> In electronic circuits and electrical circuits the switch functions to connect and disconnect the electric current flowing from a voltage source to the load (output) or from one system to another.<\/span> The following are some types of switches based on the construction of each switch.<\/span>
