TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, has introduced a range of anti-vandal illuminated and non-illuminated piezo switches. AVP Series switches are intended for use in various applications, including industrial control products, communication equipment and medical equipment. They come in various sizes, with bushing diameters of 16mm, 19mm and 22mm.

Other specifications and features:
- Actuation of the switches is momentary (MOM. Pulse 200mS Min.)
- Operating lifetime is up to 50 million cycles
- Flat, high flat and concave button types
- All switches have a contact rating of 5-24VDC / 1A, 5-24VAC / 1A
