NKK Switches announces the availability of a new rocker switch with a built-in high-resolution, programmable OLED Display. The IP64 rated OLED Rocker is the newest addition to NKK’s SmartSwitch product line. This unique snap-in switch is also the industry’s first to give a choice to design engineers in actuator type for OLED programmable switches.
Based on NKK’s award-winning OLED SmartSwitch technology, the OLED Rocker is a monochromatic, multifunctional programmable display device. User selection is based on menus visible on the display and multiple layers of menus can be easily achieved; this affords engineers a great deal of flexibility with just one device. The benefits of this are reduced panel space, lower assembly costs, reduced inventory and faster installation time.
OLED SmartSwitch technology simplifies and improves operator interfaces where multiple selection menus are required. Features of OLED SmartSwitch technology include high contrast, 180 degree viewing angles, low power consumption, fast response times and no backlighting requirements.
Typical applications for the OLED SmartSwitch Rocker are in HMI and control systems where it can be used to replace multiple switches and a display. With its IP64 rating for dust and water protection, the new OLED Rocker can also be used in industrial applications and medical areas where wipe down is required. Additionally, the snap in installation ensures easy, secure mounting and alignment.
OLED SmartSwitch Rockers can be sequenced or updated in real-time via SPI communication. The switch’s circuit is SP3T with three pushbuttons being normally open.
The operating temperature range of the OLED Rocker is -20 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius and the panel cut out is 35.4mm X 48.6mm. In addition, they feature a short 14.6mm behind panel depth. The electrical and mechanical life is rated at one million actuations minimum and the OLED display features a long life of 52,000 hours minimum at 30 percent illumination.
