Schurter Offers New CSE Capacitive Actuators
Schurter Inc. (Petaluma, CA) is offering new CSE capacitive actuators to complement its range of Piezo and electromechanical switches. This type of actuator is suitable for use in externally exposed terminals, and in industrial environments such as electronic measuring, marine, military and construction equipment.
The CSE is available in two different types: the CSE 16 (mounting-hole diameter) and the CSE uG (under glass). The CSE 16 is a flush-mount beveled actuator, made up of anodized aluminum. It is fastened to the front panel with an M16x1 nut. An O-ring ensures an impermeable seal. It features ring illumination in red or green. The actuator can be permanently illuminated, or it may be connected to a switching signal. The CSE uG is a square switch with an LED in each of the four corners. The actuators and switches can be installed under a nonconductive overlay material of up to 20mm thickness, such as glass, wood or tile.
Pricing for the new CSE units starts at $40 each for 100 pieces. Average delivery time is four to six weeks.
