In order to achieve safety and comfort, in recent years, more and more electronic components have been installed on in-vehicle equipment and general household appliances. Since it is necessary to increase the number of components in a limited installation space, especially in the era of pursuing automobile fuel efficiency, higher and lighter weight requirements are imposed on all components mounted on automobiles such as detection switches.

The smallest size waterproof detection switch in the Alps

In addition, according to the design of the whole product, sometimes the detection switch needs to be disposed away from the main board for the installation space, and the wiring harness needs to be connected. In this case, even if the detection switch itself has a waterproof structure, since the wiring head is exposed, it is necessary to perform waterproof processing with a resin adhesive or the like after the connection.

This product adds a wire harness type to the existing industry's smallest size "SPVQ8 Series" by using the unique precision machining technology accumulated by Alps Company for many years. This detection switch not only meets the needs of small size and light weight, but also comes with a wire harness that has been waterproofed, which helps to reduce the waterproofing process when the customer assembles.

This product inherits the miniaturization advantages of the existing SPVQ8 series products and maintains the smallest size of the industry with 8.3mm x 5.3mm x 11.4 mm. In addition, the wire harness joint is also equipped with a dustproof and waterproof structure that meets the IP67*1 standard. In addition to vehicle-mounted equipment such as doors, belt buckles, shift levers, and two-wheel steering wheel operating units, it can also be widely used in general household appliances and industrial equipment used in kitchens, bathrooms, and the like. Moreover, the dustproof function is enhanced by adopting the two-sided sliding contact method in which the fixed contact is slid from both sides, and the high reliability of the detection can be ensured even in an environment where shock and vibration occur.

The harness is available in both forward and lateral directions. The length of the harness is 250 mm, with red and black as the basic color, and can also meet individual specified requirements.

* 1 IP67 is a type of IP (International Protection) specification that indicates protection against foreign solids and protection against water ingress. IP67 indicates that dust resistance and immersion in water at a specified pressure and time are not affected.
