There's very much life left in Abacus following its acquisition by Avnet, as demonstrated by the company's Abacus Switch unit.
It has introduced a new, ultra miniature double action switch that can actuate two separate functions in compact hand-held instruments. The switch has a two-step action with a partial depression activating one function and a full press activating a second, giving user feedback through a clicking sensation that can be felt through the finger.
Originally developed for digital cameras, the Alps SKSE switch haspotential in the growing number of highly compact professional instruments being developed in the UK according to Abacus Switch.
Full details of the SKSE series and other newly released switch solutions are available on the Abacus Switch website, www.abacus.co.uk/switch. The site includes a virtual sample box as well as a matrix that shows each type of switch that is offered by the manufacturers, with the capability to order samples online.
