We mainly produce PCB SMD/SMT detector switches, electromechanical switches, I/O connectors, wire-to-board connectors, board-to-board connectors, cable assemblies, etc.
A detector switch, also known as a sensor switch, is a type of electrical switch that is used to detect the presence or absence of an object, substance, or condition. These switches are commonly used in various applications, such as:
1. Proximity detection: Detection switches can detect the presence of an object within a specific range, triggering an action or response. This is often used in industrial automation, security systems, and robotics.
2. Level detection: they can be used to monitor the level of a liquid or granular material, such as in a storage tank or hopper, and trigger an action when the level reaches a certain point.
3. Motion detection: it can be used to detect the movement of an object, triggering an alarm or other response in security systems or automated systems.
4. Limit detection: Detector switches can be used to detect the position of a moving part, such as in a machine or mechanism, and trigger a response when the part reaches a certain limit.
There are various types of detector switches, including:
Motion Detector Switch: This switch is activated by a motion sensor that detects movement in its vicinity. It is commonly used for turning on lights, alarms, or other devices when motion is detected, and turning them off after a set period of inactivity.
Photoelectric Switch: Also known as a light sensor switch, it is activated by changes in light levels. It can be used to turn on outdoor lights when it gets dark and turn them off when it’s bright enough.
Proximity Switch: This switch is activated by the presence or absence of an object within a specific distance. It can be used in various industrial applications, such as controlling machinery or conveyor systems.
Temperature Switch: This switch is activated when the temperature reaches a certain preset level. It can be used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, or in industrial processes that require temperature control.
Pressure Switch: This switch is activated by changes in pressure or vacuum levels. It can be used in pneumatic or hydraulic systems, or in applications that require monitoring and controlling pressure levels.
Vibration Switch: This switch is activated by detecting vibrations or movements above a certain threshold. It can be used in machinery monitoring or security systems.
Detector switches are widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications, such as in manufacturing processes, building automation, and consumer electronics.
