CPI thermal switches aren’t for everyone. They are not consumer products, probably overkill for automotive use, and generally not designed for simple, disposable thermal sensor type applications. But If your application exists inside million dollar equipment which is vibrating like… Continue reading Versatile CPI Thermals Rack Up Design-In’s
Why the X1009 Thermal Switch Is Ideal for Oil Manifold Overheat Protection — And Beyond In high-performance aerospace environments, temperature monitoring is not simply a diagnostic function — it is a critical safety layer. Oil manifolds in jet engines or helicopters… Continue reading Oil Manifolds Take the Heat
The Next Wave of Amphibious Power: High-Tech Marine Assault Vehicles and the Critical Role of Rugged Switch Technology Some of the most advanced tech and systems are going into the latest generation of military amphibious vehicles.

The team at CPI has long kept their eye on the exciting advances happening in the development of hydrogen, and other types of fuel cells. The promise of this technology if adopted widespread could have a powerful positive impact on… Continue reading CPI Solutions for Advanced Fuel Cells
For many of us the idea of fire and ice might conjure up memories of the first book in Game of Thrones. Throughout that tortured story, “winter is coming,” but the forces of dragon fire threaten to keep it at… Continue reading Fire and Ice
For engineers solving heat monitoring and safety problems at super high temperatures in an aggressive environment, there are really only a few good solutions worldwide. If you know CPI at all, then you know our thermal switches are on the… Continue reading For the Hottest Applications on Earth There Are CPI Thermal Switches
The safety and redundancy requirements of modern aircraft are one of the many areas that drive the use of advanced mechanical thermal switches like CPI’s. It turns out that while flimsy sensors and microcontrollers are a fair solution to some… Continue reading CPI Thermals For Aircraft Fire Detection
The kinds of kitchens that would require a thermal detector like CPI’s Rod & Tube series, are places that get very hot normally, like over a stove. The challenge for safety designers is letting things get hot, but not crazy… Continue reading Commercial Kitchen Fires are no Joke
With the 2024 work truck show in full swing, the broad category of “Work Trucks” or “vocational trucks” is very much on our minds. These trucks include vehicles from ambulances to class 8 heavy trucks weighing over 33,000 pounds .… Continue reading Work Truck Safety Switch Applications
