The global market for detection components is estimated to increase with high speed in the near future: GREATECS expects that the use of detection components, which originally were designed for branches like Notebooks, Consumer Electronics and Digital Cameras will expand to nearly many other applications very soon.

Encoders are more frequently used for innovative operations that must endure harsh environments. The new watertight Encoders (EC97) from GREATECS feature sealed construction and meets the demanding requirement of IP67 for dust and water-tight performance. These components are particularly suited for outdoor applications.

New touch-sensitive switches with LED illumination extend the wide product program of Greatecs. The innovative switches (BR20 series) are water-proof and dust-tight, the surface has an edge length of 20 x 20mm. These interface components are ideal for state-of-the-art applications in industry technology, white goods and automation technology.

Small vandal-proof and watertight pushbutton switches extend the wide product program of Greatecs. Due to the use of high-quality stainless steel these switches are usable in harsh environments and public areas. The bushing threads have a diameter of 16mm and 19mm.
