Pushbutton switch: Quality and reliability by OTTO Controls and NKK Switches
Electromechanic components such as pushbutton switches are used where even the smallest detail is important. Due to safety reasons, we rely exclusively on renowned brand manufacturers such as OTTO Controls und NKK Switches when it comes to these switches, because both companies are committed to delivering quality goods. Pushbutton switches are used in an electric circuit that is to be manually closed or interrupted. In order to meet the current and also future needs, many pushbutton switches are watertight or have other additional features.
Moreover, at ALDERS you also receive pushbutton switches with two-step circuits. At ALDERS you benefit from absolutely high-grade components and our favourable prices.
For example we carry pushbutton switches with the following features:
