Easy customisation for rotary switches
A Ggi International product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Sep 1, 2004
The Thincoder EZI 2.0 rotor switch offers the look and feel of a mechanical rotor with the benefit of being on an electronic flex circuit.
The Thincoder EZI 2.0 rotor switch offers the look and feel of a mechanical rotor with the benefit of being on an electronic flex circuit.
This flat panel electronic rotor switch can be integrated right into a membrane/flex circuit switch panel or can be used as a stand-alone product.
The EZI 2.0 won't replace the Thincoder RT (also a Duraswitch technology), but will add new capabilities to GGI's rotary switch offering, and allow customers greater flexibility and customisation possibilities of their interface projects.
Although it was designed to meet an increasing demand in the white goods market, the Thincoder EZI 2.0 can be found in medical, industrial controls and military applications.
Benefits of the EZI 2.0 include: cost effectiveness - integration on a flex circuit eliminates secondary rotor assembly processes; a wide variety of electronic output options (can function as a 5bit encoder, 2bit repeating grey code or selector switch); long life rated to 100,000 rotations; easy integration with other switch products including PushGate and MagnaMouse as well as dome and membrane switches, into one thin panel using a single flex circuit and connector; electronic output and detents that can easily be customised to meet specific customer requirements; and environmental sealing that eliminates through-holes.
"We're very excited about this new product, it offers our customers an alternative to other rotary switches on the market today", said Peter Graham, Co-President of GGI.
"As the exclusive Canadian licensee of Duraswitch technologies, the Thincoder EZI 2.0 is another innovative product that helps GGI differentiate itself in today's competitive market", added Graham.
