kooslüliti

A kooslüliti, often translated as a "toggle switch" or "rocker switch," is a type of electrical switch that is used to open or close an electrical circuit. It operates by moving a lever or rocker back and forth between two distinct positions, typically labeled "on" and "off" or a similar designation. The movement of the lever actuates an internal mechanism that physically connects or disconnects electrical contacts, thereby controlling the flow of current.

These switches are ubiquitous in a wide range of applications, from household appliances and lighting controls to industrial machinery and automotive systems. Their simplicity, reliability, and ease of operation make them a popular choice for many electrical control needs. The "toggle" action is often characterized by a distinct detent or click, providing tactile feedback to the user that the switch has been successfully actuated. The physical design can vary, with some kooslülitid featuring a rounded rocker that can be pressed in different places, while others have a more prominent lever.

The internal construction of a kooslüliti typically involves a spring mechanism that holds the switch in one of its two stable positions. When the user applies force to the lever, the spring is overcome, and the mechanism snaps to the other position, ensuring a clean and reliable break or connection of the circuit. The materials used for the housing and contacts are chosen based on the intended electrical load and environmental conditions.
