Detector Switches: Space-Saving, Cost-Effective Solutions

If you’re looking for a surface-mount detector switch, E-Switch offers one of the broadest detect selections on the market. Many of these switches are designed as surface-mount devices (SMD) to be soldered directly onto a PCB using surface-mount technology (SMT), but E-Switch also offers through hole (THT) mounting, snap-in and chassis designs for panels, as well as reed type detector switches.

Below, you’ll find a variety of detector switches in different styles (vertical, horizontal, angled) and sizes (subminiature, ultra-miniature, standard), with various actuators (pin plunger, push-pull plunger, magnet, lever, angled toggle) and design benefits (sealed, long life, soft actuation, low profile). Selections include traditional detect, snap-acting, tactile, magnetic reed and door interlock styles to fit your application’s needs.

Additional benefits include low power operation (ranging from 1mA, 5VDC up to 16A), space-saving designs (as small as 3.5mm x 3.0mm with 2.53mm profile) and long life cycles (up to one million).
