A recent inquiry came in asking if EG2301A was shorting or non-shorting. According to E-Switch, this switch is non-shorting. The terms shorting and non-shorting are being referenced as follows:
- Shorting - In a shorting (make-before-break) switch, the new connection is made before the previous connection is broken. This means there’s a brief moment when both positions are electrically connected, allowing current to flow between them simultaneously.
- Non-Shorting - In a non-shorting (break-before-make) switch, the current connection is broken before a new one is made. This creates a brief disconnection or gap as the switch changes positions, interrupting the circuit momentarily.
