New Series 71 Snap-Action Switches from EAO
Switch manufacturer, EAO Ltd has inttroduced the latest in easy-installation pushbutton technology with its new range of Series 71 snap-action switches.
Dual redundancy means that the 62R optical encoder is ideally suited for applications such as avionic cockpit control systems and patient monitoring medical equipment where failures could be critical.
A range of options is available, including the choice of 16, 24 or 32 detent positions.
The 62R can also be customised to meet specific customer requirements.
An integral pushbutton can be included; similarly the customer has a choice of PCB pin or cable terminations and cable lengths.
Further customisation with regard to resolutions and shaft and bushing configurations is also possible.
The 62R range has an operational lifetime of one million rotational cycles and is compatible with CMOS, TTL and HCMOS Logic.
Operating voltage of the 62R is rated at 5.0 +/- 0.25 Vdc and its supply current at 30 mA maximum at 5 Vdc.
Power consumption is rated at 150 mW maximum. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
