16mm BPS Fact Sheet

16mm Piezo Switch, BPS (Basic Piezo Switch)
non illuminated, momentary and prolonged pulse
Description
 BPS: Basic Piezo Switch
 based on the piezoelectric
principle which is the
ability of some materials
(crystals and certain
ceramics), to generate
an electric pulse in
response to applied
mechanical stress
