Normally-closed dome switch with single pole-double throw capabilities

Snaptron has launched the NC-Series, a normally closed switch characterised by its SPDT design. This cutting-edge switch offers a low-profile solution for redundancy for a wide range of applications. It can consecutively produce two non-electrically isolated electrical circuits by opening one and closing another. The new series is built to last, with an exceptional lifecycle of up to 5,000,000 presses.

One of the standout features of the series is its innovative design. The long leg of the series serves as the normally closed position. When pressed, this leg disconnects the electrical connection while the central position of the dome makes contact with a second electrical connection. This unique mechanism allows for versatile and adaptable use in various applications.

Unlike conventional tactile switches and other normally closed solutions, the series provides a lower profile and an extended operational life, making it an excellent choice for engineers and designers pursuing reliable, long-lasting solutions for their products.

"The NC-Series is a game-changer in the field of switches," said Ashley Steinbach, director of Strategic Development. "With its single pole, double throw capabilities, and low-profile design, it provides redundancy and versatility like we haven't seen before in dome switches. The normally closed position of this switch assists with energy efficiency by limiting continuous operation, making it a sound choice for a wide array of industries."

The series significantly advances electrical switches, offering engineers and designers a powerful and efficient solution. The series delivers advanced functionality in automotive systems, industrial equipment, home appliances, or any other application requiring a normally closed switch.
