Contact Switches
A contact switch is designed to open or close an electrical circuit by making or breaking contact between conductive elements. These switches operate manually, mechanically, or electrically to control the flow of current in power and control circuits. Configurations include single-pole and multi-pole designs, with options for normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), or changeover contact arrangements. Contact switches are commonly used in industrial control panels, motor starters, and safety interlocks. Applications include signaling, power control, and interface with automation systems.
