Switch Detent

Switch detents are mechanical features found in certain types of switches. They provide tactile feedback and help to maintain the position of the switch in either the ON or OFF state. When a switch with detents is toggled, it clicks into place and remains in that position until manually moved again.

In the supply class "Switches" within the supply group "Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components," switch detents refer to the specific type of switches that have this feature. These switches are commonly used in various electrical and electronic devices to control power flow or activate specific functions.

Switch detents are designed to enhance user experience by providing a clear indication of the switch's position. They are often used in applications where it is important to have a distinct and reliable switch state, such as in appliances, control panels, or electronic devices.
