What is another term for load switches used in 170/2070 controllers?

Load switches in 170/2070 traffic signal controllers are commonly referred to as switch packs. This terminology is widely used in the context of traffic signal control systems to denote the groups of switches that control the power distribution to different outputs, such as signal heads. Switch packs are integral to the functioning of these controllers, allowing them to manage multiple signal phases and ensure that the appropriate signals are illuminated based on the controller's programming.

Using the term "switch packs" helps clarify their function in electrical engineering and traffic signal operations, as they encapsulate the idea of a collection of switch elements working together to perform control functions in a compact manner. The other terms, while related to electrical components in some contexts, do not specifically convey the grouping or modular aspect inherent to the term "switch packs" used in this context.
