There are many different types of switches that vary in mechanism, size, appearance and application. We use them to switch specific functions, as the name suggests. Furthermore, we can use them to start a device or system and also stop it. Most switches used in projects with a lot of different functions are lever switches. They are typical for cockpits in vehicles, especially airplanes and helicopters, where they are placed among buttons and lights and indicators. Their mechanism of operation is based on a lever, they are easy to use, allow for quick and trouble-free switching of functions and switching on and off the device. We present different types of switches with different lever sizes. You can choose between bistable and monostable lever switches, so you can adjust them perfectly to the specifics of your device. All of them are made of durable and resistant to mechanical damage, as well as to the adverse impact of external factors.

Switches in our offer
A number of technological solutions in categories related to switches and buttons are waiting for your choice. Switches serve us in everyday life, which is so obvious that we often do not even pay attention to it, pressing buttons and switches automatically. Turning on the light, starting the car, selecting a floor in the elevator - there are switches hidden everywhere. In this category we offer lever switches. We offer switches of various sizes and functions.
On-On or On-Off switches?
When looking for switches, consider how they prefer to operate. Is it just to toggle the state between on and off, or can it toggle a working circuit? Maybe we'll use it after dark? Then we will need an illuminated switch. It is worth choosing it according to the conditions in which it will be used. Maybe it's worth choosing one with a cover? At what voltage will it operate? There are many ways to use switches, and in our store you will find both a wide range and affordable prices.
Feel like you're in a movie
When building your own project or model, you are only limited by your budget and imagination. There is nothing stopping you from building a simplified airplane cockpit using lever switches and computer simulator controls. In turn, by adding a few switches and buttons to your car, you will give it a sporty character. Imagination is a powerful weapon in the fight against boredom, and we will provide you with the right tools for this.
Toggle switches - Botland - Robotics shop
Depending on the specific model, the toggle switch may have a pin pitch ranging from 4.6 mm, 4.7 mm, 6 mm, through 6.5 mm, 12.5 mm, 24.2 mm to 25 mm. We offer 12V switches with a long service life of up to 10,000 switches and a wide operating temperature range, from -25°C to even 85°C. We also offer a toggle switch with an LED indicating its status. Monostable switches are available to enable up to two devices to be turned on simultaneously. In addition to models operating with 12V voltage, we also offer toggle switches adapted to 230V (250V) electrical installations. At maximum voltage, the contact load capacity is 3A or 6A.
Toggle switches - FAQ
Most common toggle switches have a SPDT contact configuration, i.e. one common contact (COM), one normally closed (NC) and one normally open (NO). To connect a single load (e.g. a light bulb ), the easiest way is to use the COM-NO pair.
The on-off-on lever switch is called SPDT (Single-Pole-Double-Throw), which means that, depending on the position of the switch, the middle contact (COM) is shorted to one of the two extreme pins or completely disconnected (middle position).
The symbol of a toggle switch does not differ significantly from the markings of other switches with the same contact configuration - in the diagram, the short section between the common contact (COM) is connected to the normally closed contact (NC), and the normally open contact (NO) remains disconnected from the other pins of the switch. (which symbolizes the actual idle state of the switch).
