Lükandlülitid

Lükandlülitid is a term used to describe a type of electrical switch, specifically a slide switch or a rocker switch. These switches are characterized by a lever or toggle that slides or rocks back and forth to make or break an electrical circuit. They are commonly found in a wide variety of electronic devices, appliances, and industrial equipment.

The operation of a lükandlüliti involves the mechanical movement of an actuator. In a slide switch, a small lever moves horizontally along a track, connecting or disconnecting electrical contacts. In a rocker switch, the actuator pivots on a central point, with one side moving down and the other side moving up, similarly engaging or disengaging the circuit. The physical movement provides a clear visual indication of the switch's state, whether it is on or off.

Lükandlülitid are valued for their simplicity, durability, and ease of use. They are often employed in situations where a manual and direct control over power is required. Applications range from simple on/off controls in small electronic gadgets to more robust switches used in power distribution systems and heavy machinery. Their design allows for straightforward installation and reliable performance in various environmental conditions. The term itself is Estonian, directly translating to "slide switch" or "rocker switch" in English.
