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.

Pushwheel Switches

(65 companies)
Pushwheel switches are rotary switches that operate using a rolling wheel. They are also known as thumbwheel switches.

Foot Switches

(170 companies)
Foot switches are switches that are activated by a pedal or air bulb (bellows).

Slide Switches

(211 companies)
Slide switches are mechanical switches defined by their method of activation. The switch is a slider that moves (slides) from position to position.

DIP Switches

(155 companies)
Dual in-line package (DIP) switches are electronic packages that consist of a series of tiny switches. DIP switches are used to configure computers and peripherals such as circuit boards and modems.

Rocker Switches

(355 companies)
Rocker switches are actuated by a standard or dual rocker or paddle.

Keylock Switches

(174 companies)
Keylock switches are activated by a key that is turned in a circle and can stop in a range of positions.

Reed Switches

(139 companies)
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.

Vacuum Switches

(111 companies)
Vacuum switches are a type of pressure switch that functions in the vacuum end of the pressure spectra. They measure vacuum pressure (negative pressure).

Disconnect Switches

(227 companies)
Disconnect switches rapidly disconnect circuits from power supplies in the event of an emergency.

Linear Limit Switches

(172 companies)
Linear limit switches are electromechanical devices that require physical contact between a target object and switch activator to make the contacts change state.

Flow Switches

(344 companies)
Flow switches are devices that monitor flow and send a trip signal to other devices, like a pump, for protection. These switches can be used for the measurement of gases, liquids, and steam.

Switching Power Supplies

(295 companies)
Switching power supplies are DC sources that use a switching element (normally a power transistor) to generate the desired voltage. Switching power supplies are also called switch-mode products or switching mode power supplies (SMPS).

Network Switches

(667 companies)
Network switches connect network devices to host computers and allow a large number of devices to share a limited number of ports. They increase network capacity and speed by examining and filtering data packets. Switches also regenerate forwarded packets, reducing collision rates and permitting the use of additional nodes.

Transfer Switches

(197 companies)
Transfer switches transfer electrical power back and forth between two power systems or buses such as a utility power line and a backup motor-generator power supply.
