Customized Input Sensing for Medical Equipment

Switches

Thin, durable and flexible, IEE’s switches can be used in medical equipment that requires an on/off signal, such as foot pressure mats, bandages and medical beds.

The switch contact is closed when the force applied reaches a specified threshold, which can be adapted to meet application requirements. Depending on the type of contact material used, the switch can be nearly digital (low impedance) or force-dependant (where the contact resistance is a function of the force applied).

Switches can either be configured as single switches or as switch arrays.
