PBA piezo switches for demanding environments
Apem Components
PBA piezoelectric switches
Apem Components has released a range of normally open (NO) prolonged pulse PBA piezoelectric switches, suitable for demanding environments including medical, testing, mining and food preparation.
The PBA piezo switch requires only two wires and can directly replace electromechanical switches with all the advantages of the Apem piezo technology, providing longer life in a sealed, washable, contemporary design.
It is available in seven standard colours.
Unlike most piezo switches with pulse-only outputs, Apem's PBA C function mimics the behaviour 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 switch's prolonged pulse reduces false activations or progressive gauge options.
