Q: What is MICRO SWITCHTM technology?

AMICRO SWITCHTM is a brand of electric switch components that are actuated by the physical motion of mechanical devices. The actuation of the switch typically causes an "on" or "off" action. MICRO SWITCHTM components are generally packaged in a small form factor to allow placement in small spaces.

Welcome

Due to technical difficulties there was a delay in the delivery of the October Perfect Sense Newsletter. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

In this month's Perfect Sense we continue the 75th anniversary celebration of our MICRO SWITCHTM technology with some special features and highlight two product introductions.

What's New

HCH-1000 Series Humidity Sensors

Easy installation, long-term stability and enhanced accuracy and response time make HCH-1000 Series humidity sensors the right choice for applications not requiring on-board active signal conditioning. In (SIP) Single In-line Package form and composed of polyimide humidity sensing material, the sensor is available in cased and uncased versions for potential applications including medical, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air conditioning/movement, hygrometers and weather stations.

Request information.

Dual RVDT Position Transmitter

The Rotary Variable Differential Transformer (RVDT) Position Transmitter is 25 percent smaller and lighter than comparable devices, boasting enhanced reliability and simplified repair and maintenance. Fewer parts in this multi-purpose, environmentally sealed device, and no brushes or slip rings to wear, enables faster maintenance. Built to aircraft specification, potential applications for the RVDT include position sensing for primary or secondary flight controls.

Featured Product

LCZ Series Hall Effect Zero Speed Sensor

 

The compact, cost-effective stainless steel LCZ series Hall-effect zero speed sensor offers digital output and an omni-directional sensor-to-target orientation in an easy-to-install package. Available in a number of diameters and lengths, potential applications for the LCZ include industrial process control, factory automation and rotary applications including spindles, pumps, rollers, mixers and dyno testing.

Honeywell Celebrates the 75th Anniversary of MICRO SWITCH™ Technology
 

Honeywell celebrates the 75th anniversary of MICRO SWITCH™ technology, an innovation that has made a significant impact on our world and a wide array of products we use every day in our lives. Explore its rich history from 1930s to today, view photos of early prototypes and products and see how MICRO SWITCH™
technology has contributed to industrial productivity.

 

MICRO SWITCHTM Technology in Action

The Switch is On ... And On ... And On ...
 

With more technology, electronics and machines than ever before, mighty MICRO SWITCH™ technology still plays an important role in our lives today. You probably did not realize that you most likely actuate MICRO SWITCH™ component dozens of times a day. Does any of this sound familiar? Fearing you will oversleep and be late for your business trip, the "beep, beep, beep" sound made by the backup alarm on a garbage truck outside triggers the start of this busy day. That backup alarm is only the first of many MICRO SWITCH™ product applications you will encounter today, most of which, you will take for granted.

Read on.  

Quick

Fact
 

The development of the EN MICRO SWITCH™ line was just in time to catch the front end of the jet engine age. The excellent sealed features of the Honeywell switch, together with its size, operating features and circuitry, were just what the aircraft industry was looking for. EN MICRO SWITCH™ products were soon established as Military Standard.
 

Question

What year was the first EN MICRO SWITCH™ product introduced?
