SCOPE OF SERVICE

RAFI handled the entire development and manufacturing process as a single-source provider, consistently tailoring it to the high quality standards and demanding requirements of the customer and its end users. 

To ensure reliable operation and tactile feedback, the customer uses RAFI’s proven RACON key switches, which feature excellent tactile feedback and a long service life. 

The RACON micro-switches, which are mounted on the PCB, are installed in the housing. RAFI manufactures the housing in-house using complex 4K synthetic material technology, including synthetic material overmolding. Depending on the specific model, the mechanical design allows for protection classes of at least IP64.

Since level control is used in nearly all vehicle brands, comprehensive version management is required. Thanks to our vertical integration and high degree of in-house production, we manage this complexity in-house and thus offer our customers everything from a single source.

KEY FEATURES AT A GLANCE

Reliable and robust product design

  • Durable tactile switches with clear tactile feedback and a long service life
  • 4-K synthetic material technology, including overmolding of the upper shell, to meet high IP protection class requirements, with a minimum rating of IP64
  • Individual packaging in the customer’s final packaging, so that the customer’s logistics department does not have to deal with packaging management
