Circular plastic connector is rugged and reliable
A new 19-position APD connector features a secondary contact locking mechanism, providing increased reliability.
The complete MFGS3 assembly, consisting of housing, cable, momentary and rocker switches with PCB, has been developed by Cannon's Interface Controls product group.
It achieves resistance to ingress of dust and water according to IP65, and connecting cables are contained inside an internal tube.
For improved ergonomic performance, the MFGS3 handle features soft-touch over-moulding and an adjustable palm-rest to fit any size hand.
Due to its symmetrical design, the grip can be used by left and right-handed operators.
The inherent reliability of the K12 momentary switches incorporated in the handle guarantees integrity of electrical performance.
Positive tactile feedback is another advantage.
Available optional rockers can be either momentary, maintain, or analogue in function.
The unique sensing design of the analogue option makes the module ideal for providing the proportional function necessary for off-road machinery.
Electronic control is a further option, through the combination of the MFGS3 and ITT Cannon Switch Products' AJ3 joystick series. Request a free brochure from ITT Interconnect Solutions ...
