Each switch family provides multiple features suitable for medical-related devices and equipment. Whether the application requires moisture-resistance, illumination, or an anodized finish, E-Switch is sure to have a switch meeting the necessary design specifications.
• Industrial E-Switch provides a broad range of switches that withstand the rugged, harsh and high demand environments found in the industrial market where reliability is a key factor. Industrial equipment and devices vary from test & measurement tools, factory automation machines, safety or security systems, recreational and agricultural vehicles, and commercial equipment. More complex equipment and systems often utilize several types of switches on the operational control panels. From tact, toggles, pushbuttons and rockers, selecting the right switch depends on the application requirements.
