FAQs
What types of precision-engineered electrical switches do you offer in Gruetli-Laager?
We stock and custom-manufacture a full range of precision electrical switches, including toggle, rocker, push-button, rotary, micro-limit, reed, and DIP switches. Each model is available in multiple contact ratings, actuation forces, and mounting footprints to match industrial, commercial, and OEM requirements in the Gruetli-Laager area.
Can you design custom switch solutions for specialized applications?
Yes. Our engineering team collaborates with clients to develop bespoke switch assemblies tailored to unique electrical, mechanical, or environmental demands—such as high-temperature ovens, waterproof outdoor panels, or ultra-low-current medical devices. We provide rapid prototyping, 3-D CAD models, and in-house testing to ensure compliance with UL, CE, or other relevant standards.
Do you provide on-site support and installation in Gruetli-Laager?
Absolutely. Certified field technicians can visit your facility anywhere in the Gruetli-Laager region to evaluate existing control panels, recommend switch upgrades, handle installation, and perform functional testing. We also offer maintenance contracts to minimize downtime and extend product life.
How do your precision switches improve reliability compared to standard off-the-shelf units?
Our switches are built with tighter manufacturing tolerances (typically ±0.02 mm on key dimensions), use silver-inlay or gold-plated contacts for lower resistance, and incorporate spring mechanisms made from fatigue-resistant alloys. As a result, they deliver higher cycle life (up to 10 million operations) and better resistance to vibration, moisture, and temperature extremes common in industrial settings around Gruetli-Laager.
What testing and quality certifications do your switches carry?
Every switch undergoes 100% functional testing for actuation force, contact resistance, dielectric strength, and insulation resistance. Our facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and most standard product lines are UL Recognized, CSA Certified, and RoHS/REACH compliant. Custom designs can be tested to MIL-STD-202, IEC 61058, or other customer-specified protocols upon request.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order quantity for custom orders?
For standard catalogue items, we ship from our Gruetli-Laager warehouse within 24–48 hours. Custom switch assemblies usually require 2–4 weeks, depending on complexity and component availability. Our typical minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom builds is 100 units, but we can accommodate smaller prototype runs for an engineering surcharge.
