RHx Switch
No one can afford to have a switch fail in a critical moment.
The RHx Switch is a patented aerospace electromechanical illuminated switch, boasting some key performance features from 50+ years of product switch technology. The 5/8 square display configuration is common to most aircraft today. Our RHx switch was designed for applications that need a reliable electromechanical lighted pushbutton with 4 poles double throw switching actions. Taking into account the human factor as well, our goal was to reduce human errors after prolonged usage. We took it beyond the next level.
The RHx switch lights the way & will last longer than the life of your aircraft.
We developed it to be extremely durable with a consistent strong illumination. It has been tested to multi-million cycles with an integrated contact circuit. One of the most outstanding features of this product is it is a human-machine interface (HMI) with the best tactile feedback for operators (pilots) and most importantly, the switches are designed where an operator cannot manipulate the actuation; it is “tease proof.”
