A switch may be directly manipulated by a human or a sensor embedded circuit detecting or measuring physical quantities such as pressure, temperature, flow, current, voltage, force, and acceleration.
There are two common actuator type of manual triggering switches in everyday life: Biased switch and Toggle switch. A biased switch is often seen in the form of momentary push-button, either push-to-make or push-to-break the circuit. A toggle switch is a class of electrical switches that are manually actuated by a mechanical lever, handle, or rocking mechanism.
Other special types of switches include Mercury tilt switch, Knife switch, Foot switch, Reversing switch , Light switches, and Electronic switches
