static power switch

What would happen if you typed "What is a static power switch?" into Google?

The second hit was this thread :)

I don't know, nor care much... I don't trust some random collection of Web links, I'd rather talk to real people, like the nice friendly experts on this board. It's sci.e.BASICS, have you noticed? Like, maybe for asking questions?

My point was that you could have found out quite a lot by doing some work on your own. Then you could come here and have things explained better. You did no work at all. The "random collection of web links" would have led you to people that manufacture such devices, to the web sites of designers, etc. I share no love for Google either, but its a tool. Tom

I actually tried "What is a static power switch?" and "static power switch" at both google, and ask.com.

ask.com has an "expand your search" box, which listed, among other terms, "on off switch", which is how I got to the following:

but it has nothing about "static power switch" or "static switch". ask.com has 3850 hits for "static switch", but I can't tell whetehr those are the same as "static power switch".

Try this:

Good link! - I don't know why it didn't shgow up when I searched. Maybe I ought to have skipped the quotes?

I also added the site to my "electronics" folder in Favorites - what a great overall reference, Thanks! =:-)
