Switches are the most fundamental component in any circuit, and often the most important decision a product designer will make when designing a human/machine interface. Make the wrong choice, and the outcomes can range from a small inconvenience to compromising the safety of operators and equipment.

Choosing the right switch—and the right switch supplier—is essential. Smart design engineers will know the performance requirements and manufacturability constraints of their product, and will reach out early and often to collaborate with their switch supplier.

But where should a designer begin?

In this 4-page whitepaper, you will learn the basics of choosing switches

• Key constraints design engineers need to consider, including circuit, panel and user performance
• Design for manufacturability
• Questions to ask when choosing your switch vendor
