Fundamentals of Switches
NKK offers you a series of guidance, describing the fundamentals of operational switches in various aspects. You can learn very basic terminology of switches, such as "momentary", "alternate", "SPST", or "normally ON”. These guidances are useful when you want to order operational switches or use them.
