| SC PILL - an innovation by Abatek Group (former Daetwyler i/o devices) AG
SC-pills - the new solution to many current low resistance
contact needs
|
You want:
|
|
|
- Low resistance of the contact pills so that the switch
has almost no influence on your control circuit
- Robustness against dust and other dirt that drives down
your reject rates and risks in assembly
- Switching robustness through fast switching when pill
hits PCB
- Switching robustness through distinctive voltage drop
when pill hits PCB
- No noise from the contact
- At most the same cost as current technologies

Characteristics
|
|
|
| 1. |
Low contact resistance < 1 Ohm
to allow resistance coded switches |
|
SC pill same as gold pill! |
| 2. |
Sharp voltage drop < 5ms
to solve wrong function detection |
|
SC pill same as gold pill! |
| 3. |
No contact delay
for well defined immediate switching |
|
SC pill better than gold pill! |
| 4. |
Soft Surface
avoids contact problems due to dust |
|
SC pill better than gold pill! |
