  2. Network switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, and, by the IEEE, MAC bridge [1]) is networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device. A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data at the data link ...

  3. Nintendo Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Switch

    The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid video game console, consisting of a console unit, a dock, and two Joy-Con controllers. [88] Although it is a hybrid console, Nintendo classifies it as "a home console that you can take with you on the go".

  4. Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

    v. t. e. In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can disconnect or connect the conducting path in an electrical circuit, interrupting the electric current or diverting it from one conductor to another. [1] [2] The most common type of switch is an electromechanical device consisting of one or more sets of movable ...

  5. Gate turn-off thyristor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_turn-off_thyristor

    GTO thyristors suffer from long switch-off times, whereby after the forward current falls, there is a long tail time where residual current continues to flow until all remaining charge from the device is taken away. This restricts the maximum switching frequency to about 1 kHz. It may be noted, however, that the turn-off time of a GTO is ...

  6. Zero speed switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_speed_switch

    Zero speed switch. Zero speed switches ( ZSS) also known as Speed Actuating Sensing Switches [1] are used to detect whether a rotating shaft is turning (even at very slow speeds) [2] in various machines, conveyors, power plants, and in industries involving the production of cement, sugar, textiles, paper, etc. Zero speed switches mainly use ...

  7. Electronic switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_switch

    Electronic switch. In electronics, an electronic switch is a switch controlled by an active electronic component or device. Without using moving parts, they are called solid state switches, which distinguishes them from mechanical switches. [1]

  8. Switched capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_capacitor

    Switched capacitor. A switched capacitor ( SC) is an electronic circuit that implements a function by moving charges into and out of capacitors when electronic switches are opened and closed. Usually, non-overlapping clock signals are used to control the switches, so that not all switches are closed simultaneously.

  9. Cam switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_switch

    Cam switch. Cam switches are mainly used within the low voltage range. On a shaft, switching cams are made of abrasion-resistant conductive material. By rotating the shaft, the contacts are opened or closed by the cams. Often, a plurality of cams are seated on a shaft, which simultaneously switch or switch several pairs of contacts.
