HMI without any “action” is decoration.
Abatek is the world leading provider for contact solutions and for switch components in the control circuit.
Any contact needs 2 surfaces. Abatek with its performant portfolio ensures that your application meets highest quality standards.
Best price-performance ratio is guaranteed.
SC-L Pill
Best price-performance ratio for low resistance contact.
SC-L is the ideal contact technology for silicone keypads in resistance coded or directly switched applications as well as for safety relevant applications.
SC-L is technically way superior to any Gold- or Carbon contact and thus THE benchmark contact within the automotive industry.
Unique advantages are:
- Very low contact resistance
- Low contact force
- Reliable switching with a distinctive voltage drop when pill hits PCB
- Endures dust and dirt exposure
- Robust also in humid environments
- Reliable also for rotational actuation - e.g. window lifter
- Complete contact silence / no contact noise

SC-M Pill
The perfect contact pill for rotational actuation.
SC-M is the ideal contact technology for silicone keypads in resistance coded or directly switched applications.
SC-M is technically way superior to any Gold- or Carbon contact and thus THE benchmark contact within the automotive industry.
Unique advantages are:
- Best solution for rotational actuation
- Low contact resistance
- Low contact force
- Reliable switching with a distinctive voltage drop when the pill hits the PCB
- Endures dust, grease and dirt exposure
- Robust in humid environments
For rotating actuations SC-M Pill is the preferred solution. This because the entire surface is super conductive resulting in a very low contact force.
