Circuit maker or breaker (6)

I believe the answer is:

switch

(Other definitions for switch that I've seen before include "Light whip - light control" , "Contact maker or breaker" , "Circuit breaker; change" , "Divert the electrical control" , "that turns on the power" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
