Piezo switches<\/a><\/span> have become a popular alternative to traditional plastic, as well as membrane, switches in recent years. Defined by their piezoelectric mechanics, they are durable, long-lasting and available in custom designs. While piezo switches can open and close a circuit \u2014 just like all other electrical switches \u2014 they are unique in several ways. For a better understanding of piezo switches and how they work, keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

An Introduction to Piezo Switches<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Also known as a piezoelectric switch<\/span><\/a>, a piezo switch is a relatively new type of electrical switch that\u2019s characterized by its piezoelectric method of operation. You can find them in keypads, human machine interfaces (HMIs) and other circuit-based input devices. Piezo switches<\/a><\/span> feature one or more buttons that, when pressed, will open or close a corresponding circuit.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Mechanics of a Piezo Switch<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Although there are many types of piezo switches<\/span><\/a>, they all use the same method of operation. For a switch to be considered piezo, it must use a piezoelectric element. The piezoelectric element is responsible for generating a voltage that opens or closes a corresponding circuit. When you press a button, the piezoelectric element will generate a voltage. This voltage will then open or close the corresponding circuit.<\/p>\n

Piezoelectric elements are components that generate a voltage in response to mechanical stress. Pressing a button will create mechanical stress. This mechanical stress will essentially squeeze the piezoelectric element so that it creates electricity, which in turn opens or closes the corresponding circuit.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Piezo Switch Benefits<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Piezo switches<\/a><\/span> offer several benefits. Since they don\u2019t have moving parts, they typically last longer than other types of switches. Some piezo switches, in fact, can last for over 50 million actuations.<\/p>\n

Another benefit of piezo switches is protection from moisture and contaminants. Most switches are susceptible to damage when exposed to water, liquids or other contaminants. When moisture or contaminants enters a switch\u2019s circuity, it can cause permanent damage that renders the switch inoperable. Fortunately, this isn\u2019t a concern with piezo switches. They feature a completely sealed design that protects against the intrusion of moisture and contaminants.<\/p>\n

Because they are sealed, piezo switches are easy to clean. You can clean the buttons on a pizeo switch without fear of damaging its underlying circuits or other components.<\/p>\n

Piezo switches are also customizable. You aren\u2019t restricted to choosing a piezo switch in a standard design. Rather, you can customize the design to achieve the perfect piezo switch for your business\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
