Introduction to the Toggle Switch Principle

Mechanical switches are controlled by a pressure-applied control circuit; toggle switches are slightly different. In practical applications, switches are used to adjust the voltage difference between electronic components, causing them to work or stop. The toggle switch is a tactile sensor that allows users to further control any compatible electronic device. In some cases, the switch also has a certain degree of flexibility and adjustability. When the regulator closes the circuit and works, more pressure is required to press the toggle switch. In a typical example, toggle switches can be used in automobiles and household appliances. These all depend on the conductive properties of humans. This is because the human body acts as a conductor in the toggle switch, detecting the function of the conductive components. When people tap the switch, the conductive material generates current, which is a process of resistance change. Therefore, when you tap lightly, the capacitance decreases, and the circuit will be forced to close.

The working principle of a toggle switch is to connect a body part (such as a finger) to the switch to generate capacitive or resistive fluctuations, sending commands to the chip, and controlling the switch circuit through the chip to turn the appliance on or off. The switch uses a high-voltage DC power supply and will not harm the human body. When switching appliances, the human body does not need to handle high-voltage power supplies at short distances.

Advantages of touch switches: good safety: it is fully enclosed, so it is not easy to damage during use. At the same time, it also has good dust-proof effect, which can prevent dust from entering the internal components, thus effectively preventing component failure and extending its service life. This utility model has good waterproof and moisture-proof effect, and it is not easy to cause electric shock and leakage accidents during use. Fast response speed and wide application range.

Luminous navigation, easy cleaning: its switch adopts a touch design, the panel is very thin, and has a dust-proof design, easy to clean, no special maintenance required. In addition, there is a small fan that can blow air onto the phone screen to cool it down and make you more comfortable. The disadvantage of touch switches is that the touch buttons will break down after long-term use, and they are not easy to maintain. Ordinary electronic switches require specialized maintenance personnel for maintenance and inspection, which is very troublesome. Practicality cannot be compared with mechanical keys.

Functions and mutual control of toggle switches: All indoor lights can be controlled by each switch. Lighting display: When each switch is turned off, all lights in the room will be displayed. Multiple operations: manual operation, infrared remote control, and remote operation (you can control the lights in this room from other rooms). Standard control: Lights connected to standard switches can be turned on directly. Standard lock: Prohibit all switches from operating the lights in this room. Full shutdown function: One-button shutdown of all lights in this room, or shutdown of any room's lights.

Power-off protection: After power failure, the lights will turn off and make a noise. Status indication: The status indicator light on the switch can be turned off individually, and can be restored by pressing any key without affecting other switch operations. Automatic lighting: After the smart switch leaves the factory, the user-friendly automatic lighting infrared remote control is turned on, and the infrared remote control is used to remotely control all switches. Memory storage: Built-in IIC memory automatically stores all settings. Quick settings: Convenient to set switch names. Easy installation: Installation dimensions and wiring methods are the same as ordinary switches. Two signal lines are needed to connect the switches in parallel.
