Piezo Switches
Piezo Keypads and Switches
Utilising the piezoelectric effect, piezo keypads and switches have the advantage of no moving parts and complete sealing from the elements offering near indestructibility and >10 million operations for those extreme applications and environments.
We have a variety of off-the-shelf keys and keypads in various configurations.
Single key illuminated/non-illuminated in Latching/Toggle/ Continuous pressure configuration.
