Pull Switch

Pull switches are a type of switch that are commonly used in electrical and electronic equipment. They are part of the supply class "Switches" and belong to the supply group "Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components".

Pull switches are designed to be operated by pulling or tugging on a lever or cord. When the lever or cord is pulled, it activates or deactivates the switch, allowing or interrupting the flow of electricity. Pull switches are often used in applications where a simple and convenient on/off control is needed, such as lamps, ceiling fans, and appliances.

These switches are typically installed by connecting the electrical wires to the appropriate terminals on the switch. The lever or cord is then attached to the switch mechanism, allowing it to be easily pulled or tugged to activate or deactivate the switch.

Pull switches come in various designs and configurations to suit different applications. Some may have a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) configuration, meaning they have two terminals and can either be on or off. Others may have a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) configuration, allowing for more versatile switching options.

When selecting a pull switch, it is important to consider factors such as the electrical rating, the type of load it will be controlling, and any specific requirements of the application. It is also important to ensure that the switch is installed and wired correctly to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Overall, pull switches are a popular choice for simple on/off control in electrical and electronic equipment, providing a convenient and easy-to-use solution.
