Why it Matters to be MIL-Qualified

For the most mission-critical MIL/Aero applications, switches must at least meet the military specifications. Being military qualified is better.

What does it mean to be MIL-Spec?

Why is a MIL-qualified switch better?

- Proportional control in a compact design
- Contactless Hall effect technology
- Up to 1M cycle mechanical life
- Reliable performance in demanding conditions

Small movements.
Accurate response.

Because when you’re operating at a distance—control is everything.

Remove the guesswork.

High mechanical life cycle ratings = switches built to last.

When components are actuated thousands—or even millions—of times, consistency matters.

- P9 pushbutton — up to 1.25M cycles
- K1S rocker — up to 1M cycles
- T8-T trim — up to 150K cycles
- T3 toggle — up to 100K cycles

Match the switch to the application.
Design for the full lifecycle.
