Schalter für Leiterplatten
Sie sind auch eine gute Wahl, wenn Sie auf Ihrem Bedienfeld viele Schalter benötigen, um die Elektronik zu steuern. Die Installation mit der Leiterplatte vereinfacht die Montage und bietet zusätzliche Sicherheit, da nur ein einziger Steckverbinder anzuschließen ist. PCB-Schalter haben häufig eine kompaktere Bauweise alsFrontplattenschalter und sind daher eine ausgezeichnete Wahl, wenn nur wenig Platz vorhanden ist.
Darüber hinaus eignen sie sich hervorragend, wenn die Schalter bündig mit der Oberfläche abschließen sollen.
The slide switches are mainly used for on-off function and were originally designed for telecommunication applications as they are easy to activate blindly.
Tactile switches are the smallest switches in APEM’s range, they have a short travel and handle low current.
Since switches and accessories are designed separately from each other, there are endless possibilities to design the control panel for your application.
DIP (Dual In-Line Package) switches allow to define the parameters within 2-12 positions whereas with coded Rotary switches are actuated through the rotation of a central shaft that causes movement of attached contacts.
Toggle switches are often used to flip functions on and off and are commonly used in agricultural machinery.
The switches can carry higher loads of current and have fixed accessories with a selection of customization possibilities, e.g. color, illumination and marking.
MEC switches are high-performing tactile switches with dozens of options to design your unique control panel. This range of MEC PCB switches has three main product groups – Unimec, Multimec and Ultramec.
Unimec group
Unimec is the experienced one of the group – the oldie but goodie. Unimec is a pushbutton switch with 8 contact function possibilities. The accessory range is limited, but the select possibilities provide a fair share of customization options, like color, illumination, and marking.
Multimec group
The Multimec range is the modular, “one-stop-shopping” for your demanding application. On one footprint, you get a switch that is waterproof with IP67 sealing, long lifetime with over 10M activations, a pick between 3 standard activation forces, robustness up to 100N, NO or NC/NO functionality, and an option for integrated LEDs. Available with thousands of accessory options including various shapes, heights, sealing levels, surface feels, colors, markings, types, and colors of illumination. There are even various navigational solutions.
This level of flexibility in design options gives you endless possibilities when creating your next HMI and allows for late-stage customization. And if this wide range of design options still leaves you wanting more, there is always an option for a custom cap.
Ultramec group
Ultramec is the new kid on the block with a bright future, with two versions already launched – a single pole version (Ultramec) and a 2-pole version (Dualmec).
Dualmec is the smallest SMD-mounted 2-pole switch on the market. It is the ideal choice for a safety-critical function in your industrial remote control or other limited-space device. And even though Ultramec is the newest member in this PCB switch family, the keycap selection is quite comprehensive. You have the basic square, triangle, and round cap options that match in height and measurements so you can create the exact control panel you need. There is also a panel-sealed navigational solution for your compact applications.
Explore the products and see for yourself that the MEC range is more than just switches.
Diese Leiterplattenschalter verfügen über zwei bis drei integrierte Positionen und geben dem Bediener eine einfache visuelle Rückmeldung zum Schalterstatus. Sie können beleuchtet und mit einer Beschriftung versehen werden.
Wippschalter werden häufig zum Ein- und Ausschalten einer Funktion verwendet und kommen in der Regel in landwirtschaftlichen und anderen schweren Maschinen zum Einsatz.
