Keylock switch

Electrical switches typically operate to open and close an electrical circuit by moving one or more contacts between contact positions. Keylock switches are employed to actuate electrical devices in applications requiring security measures where it is desired to limit control of an electrical circuit to a keyholder. Key operated switches provide a means to conveniently and affirmatively switch electrical current. Many variations of key operated switches exist that utilize a key which acts upon a mechanism to connect a load or device to an electrical current. Keylock switches are frequently employed in circuits for controlling installations or machines in order to perform on-off control of all or part of their functions. Key operated switches provide added security by permitting only those individuals with a key to operate the switch. A key lock switch requires that a key be inserted into a lock mechanism and rotated at some degrees in a particular direction in order to switch power on. To switch the power to a load off, the actuation process is reversed. Rotary switches may also be provided as a key lock rotary switch having a lock body and a lock cylinder.
