APEM NV 4-/5-Way Switch-Based Miniature Joysticks
APEM NV 4-Way or 5-Way Switch-Based Miniature Joysticks offer four directional outputs plus a fifth center pushbutton option. The NV joysticks provide positive, tactile feedback in all directions for precise and secure fingertip control. This 16mm APEM series is available with a castle or conical-shaped actuator and offers numerous color options. NV joysticks feature a chrome-plated metal case and IP69K sealing.
The joysticks are designed to withstand adverse conditions, such as water, frost, dust, sand, and hydrocarbons, while maintaining their tactile feedback during excessive shock and vibration. Rated at over 1 million mechanical life cycles per direction, NV joysticks are ideal for remote control applications requiring a compact and highly reliable navigational control.
