Switches and Potentiometers for Development and Mass Production
From switches and potentiometers to encoders and trimmers: We support you in selecting reliable electromechanical components for your application.
Switches and Potentiometers for Professionals
Whether for control panels, control systems, sensor technology, or industrial electronics: Electromechanical components must function reliably—often over many years and numerous switching or actuation cycles.
We support developers, purchasing, and product management in selecting suitable switches, potentiometers, encoders, and trimmers. In doing so, we consider not only the design and electrical parameters but also requirements for actuation, service life, environmental conditions, and the installation situation.
From initial product selection and samples to technical coordination and mass production supply, we personally support your project with a practical approach.
Electromechanical Components from Nidec
With Nidec Components, we offer you access to a versatile portfolio of electromechanical components for industrial and demanding electronic applications.
The product range includes, among others, DIP switches, slide switches, rotary selector switches, rotary coded switches, toggle switches, rocker switches, pushbutton and tactile switches, as well as trimmer potentiometers, potentiometers, and encoders.
Whether it is a compact PCB solution, a control element, or a precise positioning and adjustment function: Which series is best suited depends on the electrical, mechanical, and design requirements of your application.
We support you in the pre-selection of suitable components and, if necessary, coordinate specific technical questions directly with Nidec.


The Key Is What Fits the Application
Select the Right Design
Rotary, toggle, slide, or pushbutton switch? Encoder, potentiometer, or trimmer? We support you in selecting the appropriate technology and design for your application.
Correctly Classify Requirements
In addition to electrical parameters, we consider actuation, switching cycles, installation space, mounting type, and environmental conditions.
Make Samples Quickly Available
For prototypes, tests, and approvals, we support you in procuring suitable samples and alternatives—so that you can test components in your application at an early stage.
Direct Contact with the Manufacturer
For special requirements, we handle technical coordination with Nidec and our other partners and accompany your project from selection to mass production supply.
Switches, Potentiometers, and Encoders for Industrial Applications
Electromechanical components often form the direct interface between humans, machines, and electronic control systems. Accordingly, the requirements for function, precision, and reliability are high.
Switches, potentiometers, and encoders are used in industrial electronics, automation technology, measuring and testing equipment, medical technology, mechanical engineering, and operating devices, among others.
When making a selection, it is therefore important to look at more than just electrical parameters. Depending on the application, the design, mounting type, actuation force, travel, service life, contact rating, and protection against environmental influences also play an important role.
Which Component Fits Your Application?
Are you looking for a specific switch, do you need an alternative for an existing component, or would you like to compare encoders and potentiometers for your application?
