Multi-deck switches are available with illumination through the end of the shaft front. With maximum and optimum visibility in sunlight with minimum power levels and zero light leakage at night, the quality and functionality of these switches will meet the needs of your most challenging applications.

The optical encoders are available in standard or high resolution with quadrature 2-bit code and an optional pushbutton. Based on the half-inch enclosed rotary switch, the rotary encoder is available with hexidecimal.
