1) Microswitches

Micro switches are tiny switches that feature a lever or push button. These units don't require a lot of physical effort to work properly. Since these are quite small, they are designed for small scale application of projects.

2) Push Button type

These units can be found in a lot of styles and shapes. Apart from this, different types of materials are used to make them. When you push the button, it opens or closes a circuit. You can choose from either a momentary or latching type. The later stays turned on or off as long as you don't press it again.

3) Rocker type

When you press this type of switch, it will rock the device button in order to close the contacts. Similarly, if you rock the switch to the other side, it will open the circuit. Again, these devices are available in different shapes and styles. For example, you can get it in two configurations: double pole or single pole.

4) Rotary type

As the name suggests, this type of unit involves moving contact. You can visualize the dial on a cooker to get a better understanding of how these switches work.
