Contactless Switch for Hygienic Switching
• Designed for applications in public areas where non-contact switching prevents the transmission of pathogens
• Optical technology precisely adjustable

The Covid 19 pandemic has greatly increased the demand for non-contact push buttons and switches. Various studies show that the transmission of viruses and bacteria via surfaces exposed to constant contact with hands is high.

A wide variety of technologies for contactless switching are vying for the favor of developers and buyers. But not everyone is suitable to the same extent. Often, they also send out false signals under certain
conditions (e.g., splash water, rain) and this trigger unintentional switching. The optical technology TOF (Time of Flight) used in the Schurter TTS can be programmed individually, with high precision, so that malfunctions are prevented.

Highest Reliability
The switch is programmed so that the standard detection distance is 60 to 0.02 mm. This ensures that wiping over or cleaning the switch surface will not trigger a switching signal. Schurter TTS switches offer the highest reliability. Since they have no moving parts, their lifetime is more than 20 million switching cycles.

Ring Illumination and Installation
The visual feedback is ensured by a two-color ring illumination (red/green) in the actuator, whose supply voltage is between 5 and 28 VDC. The simple installation of the TTS, which is fixed by means of a nut, and an anti-twist protection allow a maximum easy replacement.

Areas of Application
The new TTS non-contact switch can be used for a wide range of applications. It is suitable in public areas, for example for vending machines, parking systems or in sanitary areas to avoid any contact by hand. However, the detection distance can also be set so that the switch can be used as a photoelectric barrier for certain applications, this opening up a new field of application.

Modular solid state relays (SSR) 5 - 15 - 30A

A solid state relay is ideal when fast, frequent switching is required. For example, precision temperature control of an industrial oven might require switching off the mains supply to the heating elements every two or three seconds. Finder’s 77 Series would be the best component to operate this with input AC or DC, 230 V AC or 400 V AC output and rated voltage range (19…305) V AC or (48…480) V AC and is most suited to heater controls.

The 77 Series is made up of modular and “hocky puck” style solid state relays with the folowing features (according to Type):

Function and Features:
Input AC or DC
• 230 V AC or 400 V AC output
• Rated voltage range (19…305) V AC or (48…480) V AC
• Zero-crossing and random switch-on versions
• Suitable for lamp loads
• 17.5 and 22.5 mm housing
• Features (“hockey puck”)

Input AC or DC
• 230 V AC or 400 V AC output
• Switching voltage range (19…305) V AC or (48…480) V AC

Energy Harvesting can be described as an ‘operation without any auxiliary energy’, as the energy is generated from the surrounding environment and then converted.

Energy Harvesting Switch Solutions Technology is an energy harvesting switch which reacts to its environment without a need for energy. This solution developed by ZF is based on the principle of Energy Harvesting and does not require any wires. Energy Harvesting can be described as an ‘operation without any auxiliary energy’. Instead of generating auxiliary energy through an integrated energy source or adding it via an external energy supply, energy that is available in the surrounding environment or that is acting on the system is converted. Therefore an Energy Harvester generally speaking is an energy converter.
