Schurter MSM RD Push Button Switch

August 15, 2022

Schurter Logo1.jpg

MSM
The new Design Line from SCHURTER
• For intuitively safe, reliable, and elegant design
• With modern dead-front LED illumination

With the Design Line MSM RD, Schurter extends the MSM product family of mechanical switches and breathes new life into conventional pushbuttons. The progressive modern look of dead-front displays provides expanded design options with the known intuitive features of tactile feel and optical feedback.
The new MSM RD variants are distinguished by its high-quality choice of materials. The switch housing is made of black anodized aluminum. With the combination of the special black translucent plastic for its ring lighting, the switch gives a very elegant, modern appearance.

Ring Illumination
While the DF black Light Guide material is translucent, it is very robust. The switch appears inconspicuously black when the lighting is inactive. It thus fits unobtrusively and discreetly into dark operating surfaces. If the illumination is active, the ring shines in the set color without any color shift despite the dark Light Guide material. Thus, special design effects or specific attention to detail can be created.

Variants
Like all our products, the MSM RD variants are characterized by the highest quality. As standard, the ring illuminated switches are available in different sizes as well as in different illumination colors. Depending on the variant, the switch can operate up to 10A.

Application areas - Intuitive Operation and Design
Many unsafe incidents are due to operational errors. As an example, criteria for intuitive operation of laboratory and medical equipment plays a major role in increasing the safety of the operating process.

What was once acceptable as a simple switch has become outdated due to higher demands being placed on the design and operation of a device.

Mechanical switches are still used for this reason because haptic feedback in combination with optical feedback is still considered the highest level of safety used to ensure human-centered design.

The Schurter MSM RD switch variants support the design of modern operator interfaces, which are more often made of dark plastic or glass surfaces. It combines intuitive feedback, high reliability, and elegant design in response to designer demands. The switch is not only "beautiful», but the materials are also suitable for outdoor use, because the black Light Guide material is also UV resistant

Schurter TTS RGB Contactless Switch

March 11, 2022

Schurter Logo1.jpg

Switch For Contactless, Hygienic Switching with Customized Color Settings:
• Contactless switch with optical feedback
• Individual, customized color settings
• For applications in public areas (no smear infections)
• High precision detection

Contactless, highly precise and now also individually color-customizable: The new Schurter TTS RGB extends the technical finesse of the TTS switch introduced last year with the popular RGB functionality.

The TTS family is getting a new member in the form of a color-customizable variant, called: TTS RGB. All TTS switches use the highly precise Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology. Light is emitted by a transmitter and reflected by one or more objects. The reflected light beams are then detected and the distance is determined from the time of flight.

Colorful Ring Illumination:
In addition to the pre-programmed bicolor switches, which are available in "Momentary" and "Latching" versions, the new RGB variant makes things much more colorful. Depending on the wiring, the customer can easily set the ring illumination color as desired.

High Reliability:
By default, the detection distance is programmed for 20 to 60 mm. This ensures that wiping/cleaning the switch surface will not trigger a signal. An advantage of ToF technology is that this sensor technology has no problems in differentiating dark from light surfaces. White or black objects: this has no effect on detection quality or speed.

Since the TTS has no moving parts, its service life is more than 20 million switching cycles. Thanks to its high IP protection class and the ability to "detect" rain, this switch is also ideally suited for outdoor use.

Application Areas:
The contactless switches of the TTS RGB family are extremely multifunctional. They can be used wherever contact should be avoided to the greatest possible extent. Examples would be doors, garbage cans, parking systems and sanitary areas.

Johnson Electric Internet of Things (IoT) Switch

March 9, 2022

 

An innovative IoT Rocker switch is getting traction at Johnson Electric Switch Competence Center in Halver . The next step in switch technology is a smart interconnected product.

Traditional rocker switches that can be found in coffee machines and other appliances and always require human interaction to directly turn them ON and OFF. With this product, our customers have an opportunity to easily replace the current manual switch with the new IoT Rocker switch and convert their appliance into a smart device.

Our innovative solution will maintain the full manual actuation of the rocker switch and at the same time add smart remote functionality. A very important feature is that the physical rocker position follows the remote commands.

Johnson Electric innovations are the solution to bridge the gap between passive applications and controller driven smart home appliances.

Typical Applications in the Smart Appliances Segment:
• Small appliances (coffee machines, vacuum cleaners etc.)
• Large appliances (refrigerators, range hoods, ovens etc
• Wearables and augmented reality.
• Remote control or monitoring industry equipment
