Switches

CIT Relay & Switch offers electro-mechanical switches for nearly all your switching needs. A switch is an electrical component that can “make” or “break an electrical current. Switches are commonly used in commercial, household, and automotive applications from their durable construction and long life cycle. You can find electrical relay switches in everything from your home blender and water heater to large commercial test instrumentation.

Cit Relay and Switch Anti Vandal Switches Anti-Vandal Switches CIT Relay & Switch offers a wide range of IP65-rated vandal-resistant switches, designed to withstand abuse and environmental exposure. These electromechanical switches are commonly used in public settings like parking kiosks, ticket dispensers, and elevators, as well as in industrial and testing equipment. Available in sizes from the 12mm FH & GH Series to the 40mm DH Series, these switches offer both illuminated and non-illuminated options. With a variety of actuator styles, colors, and LED choices, including bi-color options, CIT’s vandal-resistant switches are perfect for demanding applications and environments.
Cit Relay and Switch Pushbutton Switches Pushbutton Switches Typically used to close or open an electric circuit when pushed, the CIT family of push button switches offers micro, miniature, small and subminiature sizes with sealed, through-hole, right angle, and surface mount switch terminal options with a multitude of choices in cap styles. Our versatile illuminated push button switches provide several LED color choices. Bi-color LED choices make endless the combinations and applications for these popular switches
Cit Relay and Switch Tactile Switches Tactile Switches CIT Relay & Switch offers versatile tactile switches used in keyboards, keypads, and consumer electronics, available in sealed or unsealed designs, and through-hole or surface mount options. They come in various sizes, actuation forces, and actuator lengths, with or without LED illumination. Customizable with multiple cap styles, frames, and bi-color LED options, these switches suit a wide range of applications. Non-lighted versions are also available in different colors.
Cit Relay and Switch DIP Switches DIP Switches A **DIP switch** is a set of small switches in a dual in-line package, used for setting options in devices like remote controls and peripherals. CIT Relay & Switch offers the K Series of low-cost rotary DIP switches in various styles, including standard and low-profile designs, with multiple actuator types. Available in through-hole, Gull Wing, and J Lead terminations, these switches support SMT assembly and reflow soldering. Packaging options include tape and reel or tube.
Cit Relay and Switch Slide Switches Slide Switches A slide switch is an electromechanical switch that is defined by its method of operation, using a slider that moves from the open (off) position to the closed (on) position. With standard, ultra-miniature, and miniature slide switches in our collection, many CIT switches are used on panel mount and surface mount applications. Function ranges from SPDT up to 4P3T, with the switch manufacturing options of right angle mounting and choices of actuator lengths. Most common applications of a slide switch includes consumer electronics, computer peripherals, industrial controls, and test equipment, among many others.
Cit Relay and Switch Rocker Switches Rocker Switches A rocker switch is an electromechanical switch that is defined by its method of operation. These electromechanical switches rock, rather than trip, when pressed. CIT Relay & Switch offers rocker switches in both illuminated and non-illuminated types, including sealed versions up to IP67. Our rocker switches for sale are often used in lighting, display monitors, computer peripherals and industrial equipment.
Cit Relay and Switch Toggle Switches Toggle Switches A toggle switch is an electromechanical switch that is operated by a type of handle or lever actuator. Among the most common types of switches, and available in many different sizes, micro toggle switches are used in many types of applications including consumer use but due to their exceptional durability, they are very often found in commercial and industrial applications. View our selection of miniature toggle switches below and learn more about the customization options available with each type.
Cit Relay and Switch Key Switches Key Switches
A key switch refers to the individual mechanism that registers a keypress, similar to a keyboard switch. When a user presses a key, the switch underneath that key closes or opens an electrical circuit, sending a signal to the computer or device to input a specific command.
Cit Relay and Switch Circuit Breaker Switches Circuit Breaker Switches A circuit breaker switch is an electromechanical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected.
Cit Relay and Switch Capacitive Touch Switch Capacitive Touch Switch A capacitive switch is a type of electronic switch that detects the presence or absence of a user’s touch based on changes in electrical capacitance. Unlike mechanical switches, which physically open or close a circuit, capacitive switches work by sensing the alteration in capacitance when a conductive object, such as a human finger, approaches or touches the sensor area. This change is detected by the circuitry, which then activates or deactivates the switch.
