In addition to the Compact LCD Switch, the entire LCD Switches line is now available in versions featuring lower energy consumption than the original versions. The improved line’s typical forward current (If) is rated 15mA and typical power dissipation (PD) is 130mW. These improved LCD Switches consume half the energy as their predecessors, which is important for panel applications. The new LCD Switches line also features brighter LED illumination enabled by a redeveloped diffuser that allows a more even distribution of illumination.
The LCD Switch can be specified in single, bicolor and RGB versions. With the RGB version, design engineers are able to create virtually any color illumination with one switch. With high quality LEDs for superior color matching, the LCD Switch enables designers to create customized control panels with project specific colors, including RGB white. The RGB LED option also allows for low power use and low heat solution.
The LCD Switches can be programmed to display an infinite variety of text, graphics, and moving images. Mechanical life and electrical life are both rated at 1,000,000 operations minimum. Suited for a wide variety of applications, the LCD Switches are essential for any application requiring user interface. They can simplify and improve complex, multi-decision operations. Possible applications include industrial control panels, communication systems, audio-video broadcast workstations and simulation equipment.
