TC-5 is a 5 Position keypad switch module

StartFragment

As seen on sites such as Yahoo Finance and Global Purchasing, OTTO’s new TC-5 is the first in a series of keypad modules, with 1, 2, 3 and 4 button versions coming soon. These keypad modules are suitable for use in harsh environments and demanding applications. The TC-5 is slightly over an inch in diameter and can be front or rear mounted in a grip or front panel.

The advantage of the TC-5 is that it incorporates keypad functionality within a very small footprint. Standard or custom legends are available and can be LED backlit with a variety of colors. Standard termination options include flying leads, ribbon cable (with or without AMP connector) or FCC

Tested to one million cycles, the TC-5 has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and it is sealed to IP68S. Applications include:

• construction

• agriculture

• industrial

• material handling

• medical

The TC-5 can be used in panel or grip applications and is especially useful in cursor control or data entry applications.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss your application.

EMI Fan Guards Using Microvent Technology

We’re proud to introduce our new Fan Guard product line, which is our latest application of MicroVent®, an advanced technology developed by Atrenne, to provide more efficient airflow while meeting EMI/RFI requirements. The sophisticated machining process yields a hexagonal design with up to 80%+ open area for unobstructed air flow.

Available in 80mm and 120mm standard sizes, as well as custom sizes, these fan guards attach easily to any embedded computer fan with machine screws. Made from extruded aluminum or sheet stock, they adhere to industry-standard fan geometries of 2, 3 and 5mm thickness and they allow for a seamless installation.
