Duraswitch technologies, including the PushGate pushbutton, Thincoder rotary and MagnaMouse multidirectional control, are compatible with both PCB and flex circuit.
These technologies provide design solutions to challenges faced with traditional switches, such as the ability to integrate multiple switch types in flat-panel and slim-profile designs, high durability and reliability, sealability against harsh environments, multiple customisation options and ergonomic, user-friendly interface.
