Q-switches are devices used in the optical resonator of a laser to prevent lasing action until a high level of inversion is achieved in the lasing medium

Switches are devices that allow electric current to flow when closed and prevent current flow when opened.

Pushbutton switches are mechanical switches defined by the method used to activate the switch.

Switch boots protect switches from contaminants such as dirt, dust, gas, and liquids.

VME switches and VXI switches are used in industrial systems to connect test points, or devices, to instruments for the purpose of testing, measuring or monitoring the system

Touch-sensitive and tactile switches operate by touching or pressing to make a connection.

Liquid level switches are used to detect specific liquid levels or interfaces between liquids.
