The most common electrical switches are mechanical switches, which make or break an electrical contact when some force, either manual or magnetic, is applied to move the switch to an on or off position. Toggle switches have a lever which is pushed or pulled, like the common light switch. Power windows and locks in automobiles use rocker switches, which rock back and forth when pressed. Keyboard switches are found on computers, washers, stoves and other devices with push controls.
Electronic switches are electrical switches which do not have mechanical contacts, but use semiconductor devices. These switches apply electrical control signals to terminals on the switch which opens and closes the contacts. Touch plate devices, soft-touch controls and motion detector switches are frequently electronic. Some electronic safety switches mounted on food processing equipment use radio frequencies which will interrupt the power when a safety door is opened. Electronic switches are available in a vast range of configurations such as toggle, rocker, push button, rotary, slide, and reed and relay switches.
In an electronic switch there are no mechanical/moving parts - the switching action is achieved entirely within the electronic components. Electronic relays are generally a mechanical switch controlled by electronics.
An electronic stopwatch gives a higher accuracy than a mechanical stop watch.
A chopper to chop DC into AC is an electronic switching. Digital is data bits or machine language whereby a processor can make decisions
The 3A has a mechanical distributor (points) and the 3AC has an "electronic" distributor.
No, there is not any difference between the switching action of a relay and a contactor. Both of these devices are operated by an electro magnetic coil.
The difference between an electronic organ and an electronic piano is in the sounds produced. Sometimes, on the higher end models, the electronic piano will have a piano touch, weighted keyboard.
The main difference between electronic shutter and mechanical shutter in cameras is how they operate. Electronic shutter uses a sensor to capture the image electronically, without any physical movement. This results in a silent operation and allows for faster shutter speeds. Mechanical shutter, on the other hand, uses physical curtains to block and expose the sensor, creating a distinctive sound and limiting the maximum shutter speed. In summary, electronic shutter is quieter and faster, while mechanical shutter is more traditional and has limitations on speed.
It has been suggested that process switching and thread switching be merged into this article or section. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2012.
The STD model is mechanical, the Celect and Celect Plus models use electronic controls.
?!
mechanical moves it self electrical bad noise
A manual database is MANUAL and an electronic is electronic LOL! Simple :P
