This Tapping Key Contact Switch is a simple and effective device for demonstrating how an electrical circuit can be controlled. When the key is pressed, the circuit is closed; once released, it opens. This momentary switch mechanism is mounted on a plastic base and fitted with colour-coded binding posts for easy connection in classroom setups.

Ideal for use in testing circuits or for illustrating the behaviour of electrical flow, this tool is a great hands-on component for early electronics learning.

Educational Benefits:

  • Demonstrates switch operation and circuit control
  • Supports lessons in basic electricity and conductivity
  • Encourages student experimentation with circuit design
  • Teaches fundamentals of open and closed circuit states

Classroom Ideas:

  • Integrate into basic circuit testing setups
  • Pair with buzzers or lamps for cause-effect demonstrations
  • Use in series/parallel switch circuit designs
