CIT Relay & Switch offers electro-mechanical switches for nearly all your switching needs. A switch is an electrical component that can “make” or “break an electrical current. Switches are commonly used in commercial, household, and automotive applications from their durable construction and long life cycle. You can find electrical relay switches in everything from your home blender and water heater to large commercial test instrumentation.
CIT Relay & Switch offers a broadline of IP65 anti-vandal switches. Also known as vandal-resistant or vandal-proof, our electromechanical switches are designed to withstand abuse from nature and/or attempts to damage them. Often found in public settings such as parking kiosks, ticket dispensers and elevators, vandal proof switches are also used in industrial and testing equipment. With sealing degree of IP65, CIT Relay & Switch Vandal-Resistant Switches are available in a variety...
Surface Mount switches are also called SMT or SMD switches. This is referring to the method of termination. Usually smaller than their through-hole counterparts, SMT switches sit flat on a PCB. Usually requiring a gentle touch, SMT switches are typically not to designed to withstand a great deal of over-travel. CIT Relay & Switch offers Surface Mount switches in tactile, DIP, pushbutton and toggle styles....
Typically designed to sit off of a PCB and used in a variety of industries, Panel Mount switches range from miniature and sub-miniature slides, pushbuttons of all sizes, rockers, toggles and snap-action switches. We also offer non-illuminated and illuminated switches, so you can find the exact option you need...
Offering over 35 different illuminated switch product series, CIT Relay & Switch has the illuminated switch for any and all design needs. Our offering includes illuminated tactile switches, anti-vandal switches, rocker switches, toggle switches, pushbutton switches in many sizes, circuit breaker switches, capacitive touch switches and indexing switches. Illumination option range from LED, Bi-Color LED, Tungsten and Neon Lamp....
Process sealed switches offer dust tight housing with protection against splashing water, low pressure water jets or temporary immersion up to 1 meter. CIT Relay & Switch offers a large number of process switches with sealing degree reaching up to IP67. Also available with some Series are protective splash proof boots. See individual series to determine sealing degree...
CIT Relay & Switch offers a number of electronic switches with right angle termination. We offer slide switches in both miniature and sub-miniature sizes, pushbutton switches in many difference sizes, in rocker, toggle, and tactile switch options. Many of our right angle switches are available in sealed and surface mount versions...
Typically used to close or open an electric circuit when pushed, the CIT family of push button switches offers micro, miniature, small and subminiature sizes with sealed, through-hole, right angle, and surface mount switch terminal options with a multitude of choices in cap styles. Our versatile illuminated push button switches provide several LED color choices. Bi-color LED choices make endless the combinations and applications for these popular switches...
Often used in keyboards, keypads, instrumentation equipment, white goods, control panel applications, and virtually any consumer electronic device, tact switches are small in size and are used to close an electrical circuit. Often used as an ON/OFF switch, our tactile switches are available in sealed and unsealed, and through-hole and surface mount termination for placement on PCB Boards with a large variety of sizes, actuation gram force and actuator lengths. CIT Relay & Switch offers...
A DIP switch is a group of small switches in a dual in-line package. Often found on computer peripherals, telecommunications, remote controls for frequency settings and other electronic devices that need option settings! Dual In Line switches are used to change the operating mode of a device. CIT Relay &witch offers the low cost K Series family of rotary DIP switches with increased automation. Offering both extended and recessed actuators, the K Series standard, half pitch, right...
A slide switch is an electromechanical switch that is defined by its method of operation, using a slider that moves from the open (off) position to the closed (on) position. With standard, ultra-miniature, and miniature slide switches in our collection, many CIT switches are used on panel mount and surface mount applications. Function ranges from SPDT up to 4P3T, with the switch manufacturing options of right angle mounting and choices of actuator lengths. Most ...
A rocker switch is an electromechanical switch that is defined by its method of operation. These electromechanical switches rock, rather than trip, when pressed. CIT Relay & Switch offers rocker switches in both illuminated and non-illuminated types, including sealed versions up to IP67. Our rocker switches for sale are often used in lighting, display monitors, computer peripherals and industrial equipment...
A toggle switch is an electromechanical switch that is operated by a type of handle or lever actuator. Among the most common types of switches, and available in many different sizes, micro toggle switches are used in many types of applications including consumer use but due to their exceptional durability, they are very often found in commercial and industrial applications. View our selection of miniature toggle switches below and learn more about the customization options...
A mechanical key switch is an electromechanical switch, functioning much like a tactile or pushbutton switch. Explore our selection and find the features that suit your key switch needs...
A circuit breaker switch is an electromechanical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected...
Frequently known as a micro switch, a snap-action switch is an electromechanical switch that is actuated by very little physical force, through the use of a tipping point mechanism. Snap-action micro switches can open and close an electrical circuit at a rapid speed, triggered by an external force...
The ARL Series capacitive touch switches provide an embedded capacitive-touch slider functionality with multiple options and appearances. Style choices are a variable resistor slide or a “touch anywhere” encoder. An additional pushbutton switch allows additional functionality – momentary or toggle, optional vibration motor, LED illuminated or a user defined symbol. The vibration motor option can be used to provide vibration feedback to the user when the pushbutton switch is activated...
