Latching toggle switch

A latching toggle switch, also known as a maintained toggle switch, is a type of switch that stays in its current position until it is manually toggled again. Unlike a momentary toggle switch that springs back to its original position when released, a latching toggle switch remains in the on or off state until it is physically switched back to the opposite position.

Latching toggle switches typically have two stable positions: ON and OFF. When the switch is toggled to the ON position, it remains there until the user manually switches it back to the OFF position, where it will stay until toggled again. This type of switch is commonly used in applications where it is important to maintain a specific state without continuous pressure or control.

Latching toggle switches are available in various configurations, including SPDT (Single Pole, Double Throw) and DPDT (Double Pole, Double Throw), just like the ones mentioned earlier. The specific configuration required depends on the application and the number of circuits or devices that need to be controlled.

Overall, latching toggle switches provide a convenient and stable control mechanism for maintaining a specific state until intentionally changed.
