The Panasonic ASQD1 Series features 3 different types of Switches:

• Failure Detection Type

• Two-Step Detection Type

• Redundancy Type

The Panasonic ASQD1 Series – Failure Detection Type Switch is a micro switch featuring two internal circuits. This innovative design enables the detection of both wiring and internal circuit failures. In contrast to competing products, which require two switches placed side by side for similar functionality, the ASQD1 Series utilizes its dual internal circuits. The ASQD1 Switch saves space and reduces the number of terminal connections and assembly time.  This Failure Detection Type Switch and its dual design provide an open and closed circuit. By analyzing the signals at the terminals, you can identify all types of failures based on the various combinations of possible states.  Previous Panasonic Switch Series, such as the ASQMR, could only detect external wiring failures, leaving internal contact failures undetected. The ASQD1 Series addresses this limitation by providing the ability to identify both external and internal failures.  Additionally, this switch is sealed and offers two-circuit detection, setting it apart from standard single-circuit detection micro switches.

ASQD1 Series Two-Step Detection Type Switch is a groundbreaking micro switch designed with efficiency in mind.  It features two internal circuits that enable the detection of two separate positions—eliminating the need for multiple switches and streamlining your designs. With its ability to recognize both half-open and fully closed positions, the Two-Step Detection Type Switch saves space and simplifies wiring setups. This sealed switch is engineered for robustness and reliability, boasting key features such as IP67 waterproof protection, ensuring unwavering performance in challenging environments. Plus, with circuit redundancy, customers can trust that even if one contact fails, the other will continue to function, providing added safety and assurance for your applications. By incorporating the ASQD1 Switch into your projects, you gain flexibility and confidence, backed by the trusted quality of Panasonic's Turquoise switches. Elevate your applications with the ASQD1 Series—where innovation meets reliability!

The Panasonic ASQD1 Redundancy Type Snap Action Switch is an innovative, sealed switches featuring two internal circuits in a single unit, ensuring redundancy without an additional switch. Two switches are required to connect to the same circuits with traditional products. However, the Redundancy Type Switch integrates dual circuits, which means that if one circuit fails, the other will continue to operate, providing essential circuit redundancy. Furthermore, the ASQD1 Series is IP67-rated, making it waterproof, robust, and suitable for various demanding applications. With the introduction of the ASQD1 Series Switches, we enhance our Snap Action Switch portfolio, offering customers greater flexibility for diverse applications.
