About the Product

Ribbon switches are pressure-sensitive, press-at-any-point devicesthat operate as momentary, normally open contacts. At their core, ribbon switches offer a flexible and durable sensing solution. They can be activated anywhere along their length, making them ideal for applications where traditional point-contact switches are not practical. 

Their robust construction ensures long operational life, with performance exceeding millions of actuations.

They are available in a wide range of pressure sensitivities, profiles, materials, lengths, colours, and connection options. Our sealing methods provide protection against moisture, chemicals, and environmental exposure, ensuring reliable operation in challenging conditions.

Two main types of mounting channel are available; the 104 and 106 models. 104 aluminium mounting channel is designed for use with the BP and BPH style ribbon switches. 106 aluminium mounting channel is suitable for use with the A and B model ribbon switches. Additionally, the 106 type channel is available as 106P (plastic) which allows for mounting on curved surfaces.
