Tapeswitches:
- Simple, reliable technology
- Wide range of models
- Easy installation
- Custom sizes
- Long life
- Excellent chemical and moisture resistance
Self-assembly option
|
| Tapeswitches are a unique
range of 'press-at-any-point' electrical switches which can be
supplied in a variety of custom sizes and specifications to suit a
host of applications. Tapeswitch technology is based on a proven
switching principle that comprises a continuous length of normally
open switch. The switch is made up of two copper-plated steel
conductors held apart at the sides by an insulating strip. When
pressure is applied at any point along the length, the two
conductors are forced together in the centre, closing the switch.
Tapeswitches are the essence of simplicity and
reliability and are adaptable to an endless range of applications. A
wide range of colours, switch lengths and sensitivities make
Tapeswitches extremely versatile. All models have excellent chemical
and moisture resistance and a design life of millions of operations
at any point.
Typical Applications:
entrance signalling, panic alarm, seat switches, vehicle crash
