Panasonic Detector Switches - ESE SeriesDetector Switches are used to detect mechanical movements and convert those or human manual operations, such as the closing of a mobile phone, to electronic signals. In some applications Detector Switches have been used to replace Encoders as a low cost solution.This range of Detector Switches use a mechanical sliding spring design to ensure consistent signal output. They also have features that include long travel, thin profile, small size, various actuation angles and surface mount or J-bent terminal mounting options.Detector Switches can be used in many applications that require detection of mechanical movement, e.g. battery insertion and door closure in hand held devices, consumer electronics, computer/peripherals, telecommunications, appliances, instrumentation and many more.Industry’s smallest and thinnest switchesLow actuation forceSingle pole with normally open or normally closed contactsReflow soldering (apart from stock number 756-1410 which can be wave soldered)Detector Switches
