Brass Toggle Switch Components

The word "toggle" is a reference to a kind of mechanism or joint consisting of two arms, which are almost in line with each other, connected with an elbow-like pivot. However, the phrase "Toggle Switch" is applied to a switch with a short handle and a positive snap-action, whether it actually contains a toggle mechanism or not. Similarly, a switch where a definitive click is heard is called a "positive on-off switch". A Toggle Switch is a class of electrical switches that are manually actuated by a mechanical lever, handle, or rocking mechanism. Our Brass Toggle Switch Components are available with us in many styles and sizes, and are used in countless applications. Many Brass Toggle Switch Components are designed to provide the simultaneous actuation of multiple sets of electrical contacts, or the control of large amounts of electric current or mains voltages.
