Touch-sensitive and tactile switches operate by touching or pressing to make a connection. Touch-sensitive switches are touch-operated switches that do not have moving parts, while tactile switches are electromechanical and provide tactile feedback

Switches are devices that allow electric current to flow when closed and prevent current flow when opened. Switches, All Types are a high level search form that includes options for all switch types. Search forms for specific switch actuator types are also available

Suppliers of membrane switches and keypad assemblies using flexible membranes, domed or flat switch profiles, and tactile and non-tactile switches and panels

Pushbutton switches are mechanical switches defined by the method used to activate the switch. The activation method is typically in the form of a plunger that is pushed down to open or close the switch

Tactile pressure sensors are used to detect the pressure distribution between a sensor and a target

LCD and LED programmable switches contain an integrated liquid crystal display (LCD) or light emitting diodes (LED) that show text and graphics. They can be programmed to perform specific functions and provide choices for the selected operation

Standard keypads are standard size membrane or carbon pill keypads.

Joystick controllers use potentiometric, inductive or photoelectric sensing systems and/or switches to translate joystick motion into an output signal

Flat panel displays (FPDs) are thin, flat, electronic devices used to display data. They are commonly used in notebook computers. Most styles include the housing and ports necessary to connect them to a computer.

Panel PCs are specialized computers that are designed for industrial applications. The personal computer or PC is embedded in a flange or panel, allowing operators to monitor or manage industrial processes.

Switch boots protect switches from contaminants such as dirt, dust, gas, and liquids.  They are generally tough, pliable silicone rubber devices for toggle, pushbutton, rocker and rotary switches

VME switches and VXI switches are used in industrial systems to connect test points, or devices, to instruments for the purpose of testing, measuring or monitoring the system

Liquid level switches are used to detect specific liquid levels or interfaces between liquids. These level measurements are indicated via an electrical switching action

Reed switches are magnetically actuated switches. They are typically manufactured with two ferromagnetic reeds (contact blades), which are sealed in a glass capsule. In the presence of a magnet, the blades (contacts) close. 

Rocker switches are actuated by a standard or dual rocker or paddle
