Hall-effect switches last longer than the snap

Cherry Electrical Products will display its brand new DS switch on Stand M37 at the Southern Manufacturing show in February.

Cherry Electrical Products will display its brand new DS switch on Stand M37 at the Southern Manufacturing show in February.

Fitting the mounting dimensions of popular V3 snap-action switches, devices offers increased reliability and a solid state sinking output using Hall-effect technology.

The DS series is tested to more than 110 million operations, as opposed to the 1 million for non-Hall-sensor mechanical snap action switches.

Offering high- and standard-ratio actuator positions, the switches are available with lever, roller and simulated roller actuators.

Parts run from a supply voltage between 4.5 and 24 V DC, a maximum supply current of 15mA at 25C and a maximum output current of 20mA.

Parts operate between -40 and +85C and are certified UL94V0.

Applications include pedal position-, joystick position- and end-of-travel sensing, as well as door/lid interlock.

Also on show will be the company's new generation product range of computer input devices, including Cherry's modern, ultraflat, luxury keyboards, as well as a broad range of automotive components (such as car body latch assemblies and analogue IC sensing devices for critical applications), sensors and switches.
