Electronic switches consist of a mechanical actuating element, conductive contacts and a housing for mechanical and electrical shielding. As a rule, these are low-voltage components that are used for signal control. Depending on the design, a circuit is opened or closed by pressing, turning or pushing to trigger functions or change operating modes. Common designs include push switches, rotary switches and tact switches. These differ in their actuation method and are specifically designed for different application requirements.
The switches developed by Bourns, which we sell at ROTIMA, have a particularly robust design and are geared towards industrial applications. All variants are characterized by a compact design, reliable contact technology and resistant housing materials. They offer reliable switching operations - even under vibration, moisture or thermal stress - and can be integrated into complex electronic systems without any problems.
