该公司以电路保护而扩大其开关产品.
收购一直进行。通常，这是由竞争对手收购的大型公司或公司收购的初创公司。如果是Littelfuse的收购C&K，这是两家长期以来的电气/电子组件公司的合并。最近完成的C＆K的收购极大地增强了Littelfuse的line of switches.
Founded in Chicago during 1927，Littelfuse一直是电路保护的中流柱。如今，该公司的广泛产品系列包括各种产品，电源半导体，继电器，ESD保护设备，当然还有保险丝和保险丝持有者。我于2007年11月访问了该公司的芝加哥地区工厂，以撰写有关他们公司如何测试其产品的个人资料。有时，测试电路保护产品的唯一方法是破坏它。
C&Kbegan its life in 1957in Newton, Mass. The company’s first product was magnetic computer memory units. Current C&K headquarters are in neighboring Waltham. The company was part of the conglomerate ITT from 1974 to 2007. Today’s C&K’s product line consists of toggle, rocker, rotary, slide, and DIP switches.
To me, C&K is best known for toggle and DIP switches. Who hasn’t used C&K DIP switches to configure a base address on a digital board? C&K DIP switches often appear in breakout boxes. My former colleague Steve Leibson used DIP switches to build his own RS-232 troubleshooting box.
What have you done with Littelfuse or C&K products?
