Core Difference

Shorting Switches (Make-Before-Break)

· Both contacts connect briefly during switching

· Advantages: No interruption, no noise

· Applications: Audio equipment, instruments

Non-Shorting Switches (Break-Before-Make)

 Completely break contact before making new connection

· Advantages: Absolute safety, prevent short circuits

· Applications: Power switching, safety systems
