CompactPCI switches and PXI switches are used in industrial systems to connect test points or devices to instruments for the purpose of testing, measuring or monitoring the system.
Matrix switching systems rout signals (RF, video, audio, data, and others) from multiple inputs to multiple outputs.

Limit Switches

(462 companies)
Limit switches are electromechanical or solid state devices that require the physical contact of an object with the switch 's actuator to make the contacts change state.

GPIB Switches

(7 companies)
GPIB switches enable several GPIB controllers to share one or more GPIB devices. They also allow a single GPIB controller to operate multiple GPIB bus systems.
Dry material (powders) level switches are used to measure levels of dry, solid materials via an electrical switching action.

Safety Sensor Switches

Safety sensor switches are placed in enclosures to prevent accidental contact with live electrical connections.
...object, commonly referred to as the target. The target, characterized by its magnetic field, triggers the switching process when it enters the detection range of the sensor. The switch may be a reed switch or the device could operate due...
Interlocks and tag out devices "lock out" valves, electrical switches or other components. These devices are used typically during service or maintenance of machinery or process equipment.
