flip switch
On-off lever mechanism
A flip switch is a simple electrical switch that toggles between positions—typically on and off—with a flipping motion: She hit the flip switch and the room went dark.
Figuratively, to flip a switch means to change state suddenly or dramatically, as if activating a mechanism: Something flipped a switch in him and he became a different person.
