Specifiers who overlook this difference risk selecting a switch technology that fails prematurely in harsh environments where mechanical contacts corrode, wear, or jam.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Mechanical switches depend on physical contact between conductive parts to open or close a circuit. Every actuation cycles those contacts through friction and impact. Piezo switches eliminate that failure mode entirely by relying on solid-state technology.

A property of certain materials that generates an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress or deformation. The switch itself consists of two distinct layers: an inner ceramic layer and an outer metallic layer. When an operator applies force to the outer metallic layer, the ceramic layer deforms, produces a small electrical charge. Changes the circuit state.
