An electrical switch that can only be activated with a key is referred to as a key switch, keylock switch, or lock switch. A circuit that enables a system to be switched on or off is made or broken when a key is inserted and turned. For improving the safety of machinery operation and access control in potentially dangerous locations, key-controlled switches are excellent. Key switches come in several ampere ratings and are available as components with soldered connections. For further security, they can utilize tubular or other uniquely shaped keys.
They are operated by a key that is activated in a circle and off in a range of positions. Because they need a key to operate and may be set to one or more locations, these devices offer security for a switching function. A form of the rotary switch with the additional security of a key is called a keylock switch. The key can be used to start the automobile or activate the aux ignition (radio, lights), which is a frequent application for a keylock switch.
These devices are also included in the machinery used in industrial manufacturing to prevent misuse or safety concerns. For instance, if an emergency stop switch is hit, the machine might need to be reset by turning a keylock switch. For further security, switches can be used on computers in place of extra passwords and on control boxes for blasting and demolition operations.
