# Switches ## Navigation - [Back to Sitemap](https://www.flux.ai/sitemap.md) - [Back to Passive Components](https://www.flux.ai/sitemap/passive-components.md) ## Description A switch is a device that allows electricity to flow through a circuit by completing or interrupting the connection. It is a common component in electrical and electronic systems and is used in a variety of applications, such as controlling the flow of electricity in a circuit, turning devices on and off, and routing electrical signals. One of the primary use cases for switches is to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. This can be done by manually flipping the switch or by using a control mechanism, such as a timer or a sensor. Another common use for switches is to turn devices on and off. This can be done using a switch that is built into the device or by using a separate switch that is connected to the device. In addition to these basic use cases, switches can also be used to route electrical signals. For example, a switch can be used to route a signal from one device to another or to direct a signal to a specific circuit or component. If you're looking for a wide variety of switches for your projects, flux.ai has the world's largest community-driven public library of them. The library includes footprints, symbols, datasheets, and simulation models for a wide range of switches, making it easy to find the right switch for your needs. ## Items (Page 1 of 864, 21598 total) - [21700 Protected Button Top](https://www.flux.ai/nodemand/21700-protected-button-top.md) - Battery Holder (Open) 21700 Button Top with Protection Circuit 1 Cell PC Pin #21700 #holder #battery - [ESP8266 Alexa Controlled Switch](https://www.flux.ai/delorafuchsiadarthmaul703158/esp8266-alexa-controlled-switch.md) - This is an Alexa Controlled Switch using ESP-01 development board. - [Small SPST-NO Tactile Switch](https://www.flux.ai/corynrobinson/small-spst-no-tactile-switch.md) - Small tactile switch - [SPDT Toggle Switch on-off-on](https://www.flux.ai/corynrobinson/spdt-toggle-switch-on-off-on.md) - Through-hole and panel mount SPDT toggle switch. - [Tactile Switch SPST-NO PTS526 SK15 SMTR2 LFS](https://www.flux.ai/collinsemasi/tactile-switch-spst-no-pts526-sk15-smtr2-lfs.md) - Tactile Switch SPST-NO Top Actuated Surface Mount TACT 5.2 X 5.2, 1.5 MM H, 260GF PTS526 SK15 SMTR2 LFS #components #tact #tactile #spst - [SWITCH SMD 4PIN](https://www.flux.ai/adrian95/switch-smd-4pin.md) - SWITCH SMD 4PIN - [SPST Switch](https://www.flux.ai/jharwinbarrozo/spst-switch.md) - A switch that only has a single input and can connect only to one output. - [SPST Switch](https://www.flux.ai/vasyl/spst-switch.md) - A switch that only has a single input and can connect only to one output. - [4PDT Slide Switch](https://www.flux.ai/corynrobinson/4pdt-slide-switch.md) - Slide Switch 4PDT Panel Mount - [3PDT Pushbutton Switch](https://www.flux.ai/corynrobinson/3pdt-pushbutton-switch.md) - 3-Pole Dual Throw (3PDT) Stomp Switch ## Pages - [Next Page](https://www.flux.ai/sitemap/passive-components/switches.md?page=2) - Pages: **1** [2](https://www.flux.ai/sitemap/passive-components/switches.md?page=2) [3](https://www.flux.ai/sitemap/passive-components/switches.md?page=3) ...
