Functionality and Technology of Precision Mechanical Switches
Meticulous care was taken in the design of the My-Com® precision switch to minimize the number of components. Only three moving parts and high-quality materials guarantee numerous switching operations with constant repeat precision. Short, linear displacements and low activation forces in only two directions further increase the reliability and service life of the My-Com® precision switch. My-Com® has proven its impressive reliability in over 1 million applications.
