Knitter-Switch, a leading European switch manufacturer, offers design engineers a wide range of pushbutton switches. Six families of products provide solutions to applications as diverse as industrial panel building to miniature, PCB mounted, and tact switches.
Miniature pushbuttons fulfil the needs of industrial users offering 250 V a.c. mains rated contacts and additional features such as, waterproofing, heavy duty action, snap action and ESD protection. A wide range of caps, buttons, bezels and LED illumination is available for panel builders.
The sub-miniature and micro-miniature ranges of switches offer a wide range of contact and mounting options for makers of instrumentation and control panels. With contact operation up to 30 V d.c. at 650 mA maximum switching current, these PCB or panel mounting switches may be hand or auto-soldered. An alternative to the usual metal switch action is a silent operation rubber version that is widely used in audio and broadcast applications. LED illumination is also available on many models in these ranges.
The family of sub-miniature tact switches completes Knitter-Switch's pushbutton switch catalogue. Operating at 12, 24 or 48 V d.c. these low profile switches are supplied in sticks or taped.
Knitter-Switch uses all UL approved materials and contacts in both silver and gold. Switching options include SPDT, DPDT, 3PDT, 4PDT on-momentary, off-momentary, on-on, normally open and normally closed.
