element14 has signed a new distribution agreement with E-Switch (ES) enabling customers in EMEA and APAC to buy the complete product range from a single, convenient and trusted source.
ES offers one of the widest switch portfolios in the market, including tactile, rocker, pushbutton, anti-vandal, capacitive, detector, dip, keylock, navigation, rotary, rotary DIP, slide, snap action, tilt, toggle and trigger switches.
This addition of ES products to element14’s electromechanical component portfolio offers customers ready access to several thousand switch options for use in a wide spectrum of applications, such as industrial, consumer electronics, household and commercial appliances, medical and healthcare, telecom/servers and transportation related. For example, customers will be able to access dashboard switches for agricultural, off-road vehicles, marine and watercraft applications as well as commercial vehicle fleet tracking and monitoring.
Many of E-Switch’s switches can be customised to meet specific requirements, and the total number of product types available to designers typically expands at a rate of some nine to twelve new switches each year.
Curt Bakken, President of E-Switch, said, “ES is excited to be partnering with element14 and leveraging their European footprint of sales teams, technical support and regional distribution centres. ES is focused on expanding our vast product portfolio and need Farnell’s sales and marketing expertise to fully engage with design engineers and purchasing teams to support our customers.”
ES is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and has been delivering quality electromechanical switches to the industrial, electronics, medical, audio/visual, appliance and instrumentation markets since 1979.
In addition to providing customers with a broad selection of electromechanical switches, ES also provides written and video documentation to supply engineers with the most current model information, specification sheets and professional certifications.
