Popular Actuator Adds LED Backlighting

APEM expands its TS series Thumbstick range to include an LED backlighting option. The TS series is a miniature joystick actuator featuring contactless Hall effect technology. With a total current draw no greater than 16 mA, the LED Thumbstick option is suited for wireless remote-control applications where visibility is low and battery life and power consumption are critical.

 

The Thumbstick’s backlighting option utilizes an overmolded polycarbonate “Castle” style actuator to effectively diffuse the LED and provide illumination over a wide viewing angle. Both red and blue color options are available. For more details, visit APEM, call 877-246-7890 and/or send an email to [email protected].
