An emergency stop switch, also known as E-stop switch, E stop switch, emergency switch, kill switch, or emergency button, emergency stop push button switch, it is a fail-safe control switch that provides safety for the machinery and for the person using the machinery.

Not all switches use a mechanical method of operation. Some of them use electricity to determine when to open or close a circuit. Known as capacitive switches, they are commonly used in touchpads, proximity sensors and other switch-related applications. Below are five important things you need to know about capacitive switches.

Thermal protection is a method of detecting over-temperature conditions and disconnecting the power to the electronic circuits. The protection prevents fires or damage to electronics components, which may arise due to the excess heat in the power supplies or other equipment.

Have you heard of piezo switches? They’ve become one of the most popular types of touch switches on the market. Like all touch switches, piezo switches don’t rely on moving parts to open and close their circuits. Rather, you can control them via touch. What are piezo switches exactly, and how do they work?

Switching power supply is an indispensable part of various electronic equipment.

The proof dust tight check the IP Code for switches.
If you have ever wondered whether a switch is waterproof or dust tight, the international protection marking IP code gives you the details you need.
The code tells you that they are just tighten can operate immersed in over one meter of water without any harmful effects.

Product liability refers to situations where a customer purchases a product, and an issue with the product causes a bodily injury or property damage to a 3rd party

Capacitive switches have gained a lot of popularity in recent years as an alternative to membrane switches, mechanical switches, elastomer keypads, and other input device options. With no mechanical parts to wear down, a slim profile that can be applied to curved surfaces, and intricate backlighting options, capacitive switches offer some exciting possibilities for your user interface. The Langir Electric started investing in the development of capacitive switch technology early in the interface’s inception. This has given our design engineers the experience to help you develop a world class solution for your product.

Langir’s range of panel mount LED indicators consists of many different bezel styles, types of LEDs and colours. Langir’s indicator range has developed to meet the many different needs of panel design including IP67 environmentally sealed versions for use where a front panel seal is needed.

With an extensive range of Push Button, Vandal Resistant, Piezo, Slide, Toggle and Rocker switches available, Langir’s switch range is designed to meet the design requirements of a wide variety of industry applications ranging from medical and industrial to marine and commercial electronics.
