Switch

Switches select between a closed or open circuit. Of course, there’s many different switches you will find when opening electronic components.

• Take a deep dive and read the SparkFun’s switch basics guide.

A simple switch has 2 terminals, called pole and throw. If we are lucky, the switch terminals are soldered to cables and we can use the cable-binder connecting to connect them into a module.

Toggle switches have terminals with mounted screws. We can either thread recycled cables or use paper clips to connect them to the binder clips.
