Product catalog summary
Overview: The Grayhill Series 68B Hall Effect Rocker Switch is designed for rugged industrial applications, offering both ratiometric analog and PWM outputs. It is sealed to IP67 standards, ensuring durability even during actuation, and provides tactile feedback suitable for outdoor use.
Features:
  • Ratiometric analog or PWM outputs
  • IP67 dynamic sealing
  • Rugged design for outdoor use
  • Positive tactile feedback
  • Long operational life with redundant output for safety
  • Various detent, latching, and return options
  • Customizable cable lengths and accent colors
Applications: Suitable for dash-panel and armrest controls, hydraulic fluid flow control, engine speed control, heavy-duty industrial equipment, and remote control belly boxes.
Specifications:
  • Electrical: Operating voltage is 5.0V ± 0.5V with a maximum current of 20 mA. Analog output is ratiometric to operating voltage with specific tolerances at full travel and center positions.
  • PWM: Time from power-up to signal out is 8ms max, with specific duty cycles for center and end positions.
  • Physical & Mechanical: Meets various MIL-STD standards for vibration, shock, and environmental conditions. The joystick has a return to center life of 2 million cycles minimum.
  • Environmental: Rated for IP67 sealing, withstanding high and low temperatures, humidity, solar radiation, and chemical exposure.
  • Materials: Paddle made of thermoplastic with elastomer grip, cable assembly with tin-coated copper wires, and RoHS compliant.
  • EMC Ratings: Meets standards for radiated and conducted immunity and emissions, electrostatic discharge, and magnetic fields.
Ordering Information: The product can be customized with different paddle functions, supply voltages, terminations, and accent colors. Options include various detent and latching configurations, cable lengths, and output types.
