PushGate®

 This unique pushbutton technology provides the thin design of a membrane switch with the crisp, tactile feel of a mechanical switch. The simple combination of a metal actuator and a permanent magnet uses the natural force of magnetism instead of flexing domes or springs to provide substantially more durability than conventional switch technologies.

FEATURES

  • Superior tactile feel does not degrade over time or use
  • 30+ million actuations
  • Eliminates costly wire harnesses from your electrical designs
  • Superior performance where keypads are subject to abuse or vandalism
  • Oversized key with up to 2" x 3" active area

thiNcoder® RT and thiNcoder® EZI 2.0

 Increase your design capabilities by placing rotors where you never could before. The thiNcoder rotor operates when a user manipulates the rotary knob. When the knob twists, the magnet within the rotor causes the gold-plated armature balls to rotate within their circular housing. As the balls roll across the flex-circuit membrane, they move either into or out of shorting relation with the electrodes, and the machine receives the user’s input.

FEATURES

  • Ultra-thin, watertight package; thickness below overlay is less than 0.085"
  • Easily integrated with other switch product lines, including PushGate® and MagnaMouse™ as well as dome and membrane switches, into one thin panel
  • Life of 800,000 rotations

MagnaMouse™

 This next-generation technology allows for the integration of cursor control devices into ultra-thin, durable control panels. Offering durability and environmental sealing improvements over alternative cursor technologies, MagnaMouse™ is easily integrated with PushGate® or other pushbutton technologies into one thin panel, eliminating secondary assembly processes.

FEATURES

  • 1+ million actuations
  • Performs in environments where trackballs and touch pads fail
  • Digital or analog
  • Polyester, rubber or hard keycap overlays and basic flat panel overlays
