Control Products Inc. offers a compelling solution to the escalating supply chain risks associated with rare‑earth magnet-based switches. Traditional switches that rely on neodymium or samarium magnets are typically mined in the APAC region and are increasingly vulnerable due to availability constraints, price volatility, and regulatory uncertainty. CPI’s electromechanical switches, expertly engineered in the USA, deliver precise contact-based position sensing without any reliance on magnetic materials, eliminating exposure to rare‑earth shortages entirely.
Designed for mission-critical and harsh environments, CPI switches boast IP68/IP69K ratings, are waterproof, dustproof, and chemically resistant. Their rugged electromechanical design ensures consistent actuation and durability, even under extreme temperature, vibration, or moisture—making them ideal for applications in military, industrial, underwater, and transportation systems that require reliability without rare-earth dependencies
CPI’s rugged electromechanical switches are built for severe environments and do not rely on magnetic or rare earth components. They provide precise, contact-based actuation in fully sealed enclosures, and many models meet IP68/IP69K waterproofing standards and MIL-STD shock/vibration requirements.
There are several families of switches that fit nicely into rare earth sensor applications and they may even boast a lower per unit cost at quantity as rare earth materials get more and more expensive.

Key Features:
CPI’s SnapStat line of bimetallic thermal switches have a bimetal snap disc that actuates a miniature microswitch. This double snap action makes these switches virtually immune to shock and vibration. Epoxy sealing or glass to metal hermetic sealing makes them ideal for demanding industrial or military applications.
Detect surface temperatures from 0F-300F (-17.8C to 148C). Plastic body (thermoplastic polyetherimide high heat polymer), stainless steel mounting flange with .188″ dia. slots.
Our PlugStat Series of close tolerance, bimetal thermal switches act as a robust and accurate temperature control switch in a wide variety of thermal control systems.
