Cherry Electrical Products has introduced a range of switch and sensor products for the OEM lock and security systems market.
Cherry's range of switches and sensors enables system designers to increase the effectiveness of entry/lock systems by incorporating the latest in electromechanical components into its products.
Many systems now use motorised and solenoid locks, electric strikes and magnets for door locking.
Cherry sensors are suitable for use in door contacts; they are installed on both the frame and the door and indicate the position of the door at any given time.
Cherry switches monitor the latch bolt position, the outside trip (locked or unlocked), and in some systems, the touch bar.
The company's range of DG and DB miniature switches will handle the load and life requirements of the system, while being small enough to fit onto a PCB, saving board space for additional components.
These switches give designers a degree of freedom as they can be modified with a different lever, button or terminal configuration to fit specific applications.
The switches also have formed terminals for easier and faster assembly.
In addition, Cherry offers magnetic mapping equipment to verify sensor activation distances.
The sensors are available in a variety of housing styles.
