Drawing switching circuit in LaTeX?
Drawing switching circuit in LaTeX?
I want to draw the following switching circuit?

After googling I have found the linkhere, but I can not able to draw the required diagram.

A simple TikZ proposal using only lines and nodes.
Each switch is constructed by connecting the north and east coordinates of the node.
north
east
node

documentclass[tikz,margin=0.5cm]standalone
begindocument
begintikzpicture[thick]
draw (0,0)--++(1,0) coordinate (P0) --++(0,1)--++(0.5,0) node [right,inner sep=6pt] (X1) $x$;
draw (X1.north)--(X1.east)--++(1,0) coordinate (P1) --++(0,0.5)--++(0.5,0) node [right,inner sep=6pt] (Y1) $y$;
draw (Y1.north)--(Y1.east)--++(0.5,0)--++(0,-0.5) coordinate (P2) --++(0,-0.5) --++(-0.5,0) node [left,inner sep=6pt] (Z1) $z$ -- (Z1.north);
draw (Z1.west)--++(-0.5,0)--(P1);
draw (P2)--++(0.5,0)--++(0,-1) coordinate (P3) --++(1,0);
draw (P3)--++(0,-1) --++(-1,0) coordinate (Z2end) node [left,inner sep=6pt] (Z2) $z$ --(Z2.north);
draw (Z2.west)--++(-1.5,0) node [left,inner sep=6pt] (Y2) $y$ --(Y2.north);
draw (Y2.west)-|(P0);
endtikzpicture
enddocument
with circuitikz, exploiting all its possibilities (to my opinion with more correct labeling of switches):
circuitikz
documentclass[margin=0.5cm]standalone
usepackagecircuitikz
begindocument
begintikzpicture
draw (0,0) -| ++ (1, 1)
to [nos,l=$x$] ++ (2,0) coordinate (x)
-- ++ (0,0.5)
to [nos,l=$y$] ++ (2,0)
|- ++ (0.5,-0.5) |- ++ (1,-1)
(x) -- ++ (0,-0.5)
to [nos,l=$z$] ++ (2,0) -- ++ (0,0.5)
(0,0) -| ++ (1,-1)
to [nos,l=$y$] ++ (2,0)
to [nos,l=$z$] ++ (2,0) -| ++ (0.5,1)
;
endtikzpicture
enddocument

addendum:
a little bit modified code (which should enable more easy to extend to other switches topology) and add some "fancy" connection points:
documentclass[margin=0.5cm]standalone
usepackagecircuitikz
begindocument
begintikzpicture
draw % in
(0,0) to [short,o-*] ++ (1,0) coordinate (in)
-- ++ (0, 1)
to [nos,l=$x$,-*] ++ (2,0) coordinate (x)
% upper branch
-- ++ (0,0.5)
to [nos,l=$y$] ++ (2,0)
to [short,-*] ++ (0,-0.5)
-| ++ (0.5,-1) coordinate (out)
(x) -- ++ (0,-0.5)
to [nos,l=$z$] ++ (2,0) -- ++ (0,0.5)
% lower branch
(in) -- ++ (0,-1)
to [nos,l=$y$] ++ (2,0)
to [nos,l=$z$] ++ (2,0) -| (out)
% out
to[short,*-o] ++ (1,0)
;
endtikzpicture
enddocument

A starting point with the circuitikz package
circuitikz
documentclass[tikz]standalone
usepackagecircuitikz
begindocument
begincircuitikz
draw[color=black, thick] (2,0) -- (4,0) ;
draw[color=black, thick] (4,-1) -- (4,1) ;
draw (4,1) to[normal open switch, *-*] (5,1);% Does not work node[pos=0.5,below]y;
path (4,1) -- (5,1) node[pos=0.5,below]x;
draw (4,-1) to[normal open switch, *-*] (5,-1);
endcircuitikz
enddocument

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please add a minimal working example (MWE), not not just a fragment. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with documentclass and ending with enddocument
