The symbol shown here for the proximity switch is of the electronic variety, as indicated by the diamond-shaped box surrounding the switch. A non-electronic proximity switch would use the same symbol as the lever-actuated limit switch. Another form of proximity switch is the optical switch, comprised of a light source and photocell. Pneumatic Symbols Only when the design fails does it draw attention to itself; when it succeeds, it’s invisible. Berry All the symbols you need to design your pneumatic circuit in.dxf format. Scan through and easily download the one you need. Type of Switch. Circuit Symbol. Single Pole, Single Throw. A simple on-off switch. This type can be used to switch the power supply to a circuit. When used with AC this type of switch must be in the live wire, but it is better to use a DPST switch to isolate both live and neutral. SPST Toggle Switch.
Edraw Max includes one set of standard switch symbols, which are smart, industrial standard, and vector-based for electrical schematic diagrams.
Most of the switch symbols can be changed in their appearance, style, and color to meet the requirements.
The switch symbols below include SPST, SPDT, DPST, DPDT, make contact, break contact, two-way contact, 2 position switch, 3 position switch, 4 position switch, limit switch, inertia switch, mercury switch, and also delay switch such as time delay switch, time delay break, flow actuate switch, liquid level actuated switch, gas flow actuated switch, temperature actuated switch, and pressure-actuated switch. Also shown are the component symbols for fuse, isolator, relay contact, pilot light, and mercury.
Basic Switch Symbols
SPST : Single Pole, Single Throw. An on-off switch allows current to flow only when it is in the closed (on) position.

In our electrical software, you can click the action button then click the Close Circuit menu item to close the circuit switch. You can double click to edit the text at the symbol.
You can move the yellow control point to change the position of the text.
SPDT : Single Pole, Double Throw. A 2-way changeover switch directs the flow of current to one of two routes according to its position. Some SPDT switches have a central off position and are described as 'on-off-on.'
After selecting the SPDT symbol, you can change the switch position up, center, or download by the action button.
DPST : Double Pole, Single Throw. A dual on-off switch which is often used to switch mains electricity because it can isolate both the live and neutral connections.
DPDT : Double Pole, Double Throw. This switch can be wired up as a reversing switch for a motor. Some DPDT switches have a central off position.
Contact Switch Symbols
The following switch symbols present to make contact switch, break contact switch, two-way contact switch, passing make contact switch, spring return switch, stay put switch, limit switch, and circuit breaker.
The switch contact symbols are smart and can be designed so that the contacts 'close' (establish continuity) when actuated, or 'open' (interrupt continuity) when actuated. For switches that have a spring-return mechanism in them, the direction that the spring returns it to with no applied force is called the normal position. Therefore, contacts that are open in this position are called normally open. The contacts that are closed in this position are called normally closed.
For example: when you click the action button at the Make Contact switch symbol, the following dialog will pop up.
Then you can change the switch's appearance according to your requirements.
The above switch symbols are some different appearance of break contact switch.

A push switch (button) is a momentary or non-latching switch which causes a temporary change in the state of an electrical circuit only while the switch is physically actuated. An automatic mechanism (i.e. a spring) returns the switch to its default position immediately afterwards, restoring the initial circuit condition. There are two types:[1]
A 'push to make' switch allows electricity to flow between its two contacts when held in. When the button is released, the circuit is broken. This type of switch is also known as a Normally Open (NO) Switch. (Examples: doorbell, computer case power switch, calculator buttons, individual keys on a keyboard)
A 'push to break' switch does the opposite, i.e. when the button is not pressed, electricity can flow, but when it is pressed the circuit is broken. This type of switch is also known as a Normally Closed (NC) Switch. (Examples: Fridge Light Switch, Alarm Switches in Fail-Safe circuits)
Many Push switches are designed to function as both 'push to make' and 'push to break' switches. For these switches, the wiring of the switch determines whether the switch functions as a 'push to make' or as a 'push to break' switch.
