Two Way Plug Key
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11288
Quick answer: The Two Way Plug Key has two manually operated, removable plug contacts. Inserting or removing either plug makes or breaks a selected connection, so one branch of a circuit can be switched without disturbing the rest, for example to run a lamp or meter branch on its own. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How the two way plug key is used
Each plug of the two way key controls its own contact: pushed in, it closes that connection; pulled out, it opens it. Having both contacts on one base lets the experimenter control two connections from one place, which suits circuits where a branch must be switched in and out while the main supply stays connected.
Typical classroom uses include showing that a lamp in one parallel branch can be switched off while another stays lit, and bringing a meter or load into the circuit only for the moment of a reading. The exposed plugs and terminals make it easy for teachers to relate the key symbol in a circuit diagram to the real device.
- Place the plug key on a clean, dry, stable bench.
- Identify the terminals and plug contacts before connecting any leads.
- With the supply off, connect the key into the branches that need switching.
- Insert or remove each plug as the experiment requires and observe the lamps or meters.
