Capacitive and piezo switches for health-related applications

17-05-2021 | TTI Europe | Connectors, Switches & EMECH

Activated by the touch of a finger, the Apem CG series switches, available now from TTI Europe, are created for mounting under a non-conductive front face (glass or polycarbonate) and are activated through the front face transforming the inert facial into an active interface. Provided in momentary or latching, they are ideally adapted for interactive applications.

Offered with a diameter of 16, 19 or 22mm bushing, the series sensory switches are remarkably easy to use and excellent for repetitive applications (no operating force). Their IK10 robustness and unlimited life are ideal for self-service applications.

Completely sealed (IP68 and IP69K), the PBA range is ideally suited for humid environments (yachting, spa, swimming pools and more) or sectors needing a regular cleaning of control panels (medical, food industry and more). The PBA 30mm series is ideal for access control applications with its long life and good visibility. The illuminated ring is offered in two versions: flush or prominent. The prominent version, exclusively available on this new series, blends innovative design and increased visibility.

Translucent or coloured, the illuminated ring is available in a single colour, bi-colour and tri-colour versions.

Typical applications for these devices include access control, parking machines, vending machines, test and measurement machines, hospital equipment, food machines, packaging machines, disinfection and sterilisation, filtering machine for disinfectant, vaccine production, ventilators, imaging, air shower for cleanroom, and mask production.
