CTS Corporation is launching a new product line in shape of the series 229 pushbutton switch.

Pushbutton switches, also known as 'key switches', are mechanical devices used for initiation and breaking of a circuit. The series 229 pushbutton switch is the first of its kind in the CTS product portfolio, intended for use in applications that operate in harsh environments where standard tactile switches would not suffice. With a robust internal structure and an optional IP67 rating, the series 229 pushbutton switch is well-equipped to handle the wear and tear of outdoor use and dust/humidity exposure. It will help enhance driving controls of transportation two- and three-wheelers as well as off-road vehicles, in addition to providing first-class circuit control for a range of industrial applications.
