CPI Waterproof switches are seeing more and more niche applications where a robust switch with appropriate mounting hardware can be used in an environment that puts electrical controls in close proximity to water.
Designers looking for a robust waterproof limit switch, will almost certainly run across our switches at some point. It’s that “all roads lead to Rome” thing. Sometimes however, its not just the stainless steel, high electromechanical endurance aspect of our switches

As any manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders, or linear position sensors will tell you, achieving intrinsic safety ratings of ATEX, or IECEx (European) isn't easy. And it isn't cheap. But it is important and if you are considering ways to maximize your

The International Space Station (ISS) may be one of the most underappreciated technological (and geopolitical) marvels on, or off the planet. While it has been under development since the 1990’s it is actually the joint effort of five different space

Sometimes, the best engineering advances arise out of failure. To quote Thomas Edison “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that don’t work!” Indeed as one looks at the development history of CPI’s patented J4 ball switch, its current

The vast majority of thermal switch applications we get have to do with keeping things from getting too hot. Just a few examples of this include:
- Gally fire detection
- Avionics Bay Over Temperature
- Brake over temperature warnings
- Hydraulic fluid temperature Read More...
For many applications requiring robust toggle switch functionality CPI sealed, waterproof toggle switches can be a good solution. Whether your application is 
hand actuated or needs be actuated mechanically, we have a complete
If you’re a manufacturer of high pressure, high horsepower industrial air compressors, like the kind that might be used in large drilling or mining operations, you need to know that the Mine Safety and Health Administration has new safety requirements
