ITW ActiveTouch Switch technology is available in "modular" switches, keypads, and keyboards, or it can be integrated into custom bezels or panels. ActiveTouch products are vandal proof, waterproof, shock and vibration resistant, and explosion proof; ideal for the harsh and hazardous environments typical of outdoor, industrial, security, medical, and military applications. ActiveTouch switches offer many other additional advantages not found in traditional switches. Designers and their applications can now enjoy an input device that is insensitive to liquid spills and other contaminants but has a familiar tactile look and feel.
