Switch - Contact Junior with Terminals

This junior contact switch with terminals is a simple, hands-on tool designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of electrical circuits. Mounted on a tough, durable base and equipped with 4 mm terminal sockets, it allows easy connection to wires and other components. Ideal for use in basic electricity kits (BEK), this switch provides a reliable way to open and close circuits manually. Its robust construction and visual layout make it perfect for classroom demonstrations, allowing students to clearly observe and understand how current is controlled within a circuit.

Educational Benefits:

• Helps students grasp core concepts in electricity, such as current flow and circuit control.
• Reinforces learning through tactile, interactive experimentation.
• Encourages development of wiring and connection skills essential in STEM education.
• Supports investigation into series and parallel circuits, switches, and conductivity.

Classroom Application Ideas:

• Use in basic circuit-building lessons to demonstrate how switches control current.
• Integrate into student experiments involving series or parallel circuit configurations.
• Combine with batteries, lamps, and resistors to test circuit function and troubleshooting.
• Introduce safety concepts around open and closed circuits using real hardware.
