SWITCH COMPONENTS

Switch Components specialises in the manufacture of a wide range of universal switches. This US-based brand was established in 2018, however, it previously operated as a part of Triad Partners, with its products marketed by OptiFuse and Vortex Technologies. Today, as a separate company with a narrowly defined scope of activities, Switch Components focuses on the core of its production, i.e. electromechanical components designed for industrial equipment, consumer appliances (audio/video equipment, white goods), as well as for transport and other demanding industries.

Products by Switch Components available in the TME catalogue comprise a truly diverse range. Its backbone are toggle switches (2- and 3-position), including momentary (monostable) components. They are suitable for handling high loads (currents of up to 20 A AC), which allows them to be used in direct control and power supply circuit switching applications. The supplier also manufactures an extensive range of panel-mounted rocker switches, housed in plastic bodies, often used as main switches for industrial equipment, but also for domestic appliances. The Switch Components range also includes highly specialist products, such as vandal resistant switches (IP67 rated, shock and impact resistant), as well as push-pull switches, which significantly reduce the likelihood of accidental change of contact position. Other products from this manufacturer available in the TME catalogue include pushbutton switches with a rubber cap (protecting live components from dust and moisture contamination) or illuminated components. The components come in variants with leads in the form of connectors as well as screw terminals.
