Two way Plug Key / Switch
Technical Specifications:
- Type: Double-pole, single-throw (DPST) or alternative switching mechanism
- Material: High-quality insulating base (e.g., bakelite or plastic) with brass or copper contacts
- Operation: Provides two selectable paths for current flow, controlled by inserting the plug into either of two slots
- Current Rating: Typically suited for low-voltage applications (e.g., up to 10A at 250V)
- Mounting: Tabletop or panel-mounted design for ease of use
Description:
A Two-Way Plug Key is an electrical switching device used to control the direction of current flow in laboratory circuits and experimental setups. It consists of a sturdy insulating base, two plug positions, and metal contact points that enable the user to switch between two different circuit paths by inserting or removing the plug. This key is commonly used in physics and electrical engineering experiments to study circuit behavior, resistance, and current flow.
Applications:
- Used in educational and laboratory experiments to demonstrate circuit switching principles
- Applied in physics studies for investigating electrical resistance and current distribution
- Utilized in electrical testing setups where alternate circuit paths need to be selected
- Commonly found in training kits for electrical engineering and basic circuit analysis
