Omron launches microswitch that realizes remote control

From August 2023, OMRON will globally release three series of "D2FC," "D2LS," and "D2FP" microswitches, which can be used on controllers to realize an agile sense of operation.

For 80 years since the development of microswitches in 1943, OMRON has been providing a wide range of products that are closely related to daily life, such as home appliances. Since 2010, OMRON has been developing three series of microswitches for gaming mice, "D2FC," "D2LS," and "D2FP," and has developed a structure design that realizes the quantization of high-quality press touch and high durability. D2FC", "D2LS" and "D2FP" are three series of micro switches for gaming mice, with a structure design that realizes the quantization of high-quality press touch and high durability. The three series of products will be released globally, and will be available for a wide range of products and devices, including robot controllers, to enable agile operation of remote sensing control devices and other equipment.

In recent years, along with the rapid spread of 5G and 6G, there has been a growing demand for remote sensing, VR equipment, and other equipment that can be operated flexibly to overcome unfavorable conditions or spatial limitations. At the same time, remote sensing robots and other devices are being introduced in a wide range of fields, such as nursing care and construction sites, requiring long periods of peace of mind and safe control operations. The operability and durability of the built-in components are essential in order to meet these societal needs and allow users to perform on-demand operations for long periods of time without stress. The new "D2FC," "D2LS," and "D2FP" series of operation-specific microswitches, which are available globally, are based on the principle of ergonomics and quantization of tactile sensation, with a stable spring structure inside the product. A stable spring structure has been adopted in the product, realizing an agile operating sense. As a result, they can be linked to human operation on controllers and other equipment, enabling flexible operation of remote sensing equipment. In addition, a high degree of durability has been realized through structural design and selection of materials that inhibit the deterioration of the performance of the operating area. This contributes to the operation of remote sensing equipment in a wide range of fields, such as nursing care and construction sites, where peace of mind, safety, and agility are required over long periods of time.

D2FC Series

The D2FC series has a wide range of products that can be operated by a mechanical contact with an on/off function and have an endurance of 5 to 60 million clicks.

This allows you to choose from a wide range of products to suit your application, and realize long, agile, high-frequency, and durable operability on robots, controllers, and other equipment.

D2LS Series

The D2LS series is a derivative of the D2FC series, which has been reduced in size by 70% and is a circuit board surface encapsulation type that enables customers to miniaturize their equipment while maintaining a high level of operating feel.

D2FP Series

The D2FP series is a derivative of the D2FC series, and utilizes a photoelectric sensor for the open/close function. This not only minimizes the vibration phenomenon* that leads to misuse of equipment, but also achieves a high durability of 70 million cycles with a stable open/close function. This enables more flexible operation of high-end controller equipment that requires high-speed response and high reliability.
