APEM offers normally open prolonged pulse PBA Piezo Switches
APEM Components, Inc., a leading manufacturer of quality switches and joysticks, is pleased to announce the availability of its normally open (NO) prolonged pulse PBA piezoelectric (piezo) switches. The switches are ideal for demanding environments, including medical, testing and mining equipment, food preparation, vending machines and remote controls.
The Unlike most piezo switches with pulse-only outputs, APEM’s PBA C function mimics the behavior of a standard switch, so the longer the actuator is pressed, the longer the output response – up to 20 seconds.
The PBA piezo switch consumes no power, and uses no external power source, ground or power wires. The lack of electronic interface results in ease of use and expanded piezo technology application possibilities. In addition, the switch’s prolonged pulse reduces false activations or progressive gauge option.
