Discussion
Oxford defines ‘gang’ as:
A set of switches, sockets, or other electrical or mechanical devices grouped together
usage examples:
‘the machine had a gang of cutter chains on a swivelling head’
‘a three-gang switch’
‘I've currently got a three gang switch which I'm taking one light off of and moving to a separate switch.’
Not sure what it's called in Dutch, but someone here will definitely know.
