System-Technik FEL FEL System Entwicklungstendenzen Tendency of development Durch den steigenden Integrationsgrad der elektrischen Schaltungen hat die Packungsdichte der Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente zugenommen. Daraus resultiert ein nachhaltiger Zwang zur Miniaturisierung beziehungsweise zur Funktionsintegration. Bei einigen Bedienelementen dürfte die Grenze der Miniaturisierung erreicht sein, zum Beispiel Potentiometer, Prüf- und Schaltbuchsen sowie Kippschalter. Im Bereich der Anzeigeelemente ist eine stärkere Integration durch dichtere Anordnung und Einbeziehung der Schaltungslogik möglich....
