Often referred to as a pushbutton switch and sometimes as a momentary switch. In this encyclopedia, a pushbutton is considered separately from a switch, which generally uses a lever-shaped actuator rather than a button, and has at least one pole contact where a pushbutton generally has contacts that are not distinguishable from each other.

fuse What It Does, How It Works ,Values ,Variants ,How to Use it and How to Use it
What It Does A fuse protects an electrical circuit or device from excessive current when a metal element inside it melts to create an open circuit. With the exception of resettable fuses (discussed separately in “Resettable Fuses” (page 24)), a fuse must be dis carded and replaced after it has fulfilled its function. When high […]

battery What It Does,How It Works,Variants,Values,How to Use it and What Can Go Wrong
This entry covers electrochemical power sources. Electricity is most often generated ectromagnetically, but since these sources cannot be classified as components, they are outside the scope of the encyclopedia. Electrostatic sources are excluded for similar reasons. A battery is sometimes referred to as a cell or power cell, but can actually contain multiple cells, as […]
