Industry Applications
18. Which industries do Salecom switches serve?
Salecom products are used in automotive electronics, medical devices, industrial control, construction machinery, UAVs/drones, telecom and networking, instrumentation, appliances, electronic door locks, and computer peripherals. Automotive prioritizes temperature and vibration tolerance plus long-term supply; medical prioritizes reliability and clean-environment compatibility; industrial control prioritizes current capacity and safety compliance; outdoor equipment prioritizes IP protection and weatherable materials.
19. What switch type fits automotive interior lighting or seat controls?
These applications typically need low-current signaling, LED indication, consistent feel, and temperature tolerance — evaluate the TQ2, DTR, or EPS14 series based on stroke, illumination color, and waterproofing needs. If automotive-grade testing applies, confirm the customer's specified test conditions and any PPAP or reliability documentation requirements separately.
20. What should I watch for when selecting switches for medical devices?
Medical equipment usually needs consistent feel, low contact resistance, tolerance for cleaning environments, and long service life. If the device will contact cleaning fluids, moisture, or be operated with gloves, evaluate waterproof rating, actuation force, cap material, and surface-cleaning method — final selection should still be confirmed against the end-product's regulatory requirements and customer specification.
21. Which switches suit food and beverage equipment?
Food and beverage equipment often involves splashing, washdown, or high humidity — prioritize sealed toggle switches, sealed pushbutton switches, or series with a higher IP rating. Front-panel waterproofing alone isn't enough; also confirm terminal-side protection, mounting holes, gaskets, and how washdown pressure affects the whole assembly.
