Kits

Kit products are assortments of similar items that are varied in some respect, intended to provide convenient availability of such products for development, repair, or evaluation purposes. Examples include wire of a common gauge in various colors, timing crystals of different frequencies, resistors or inductors of assorted values, fuses of different sizes and current ratings, heat shrinkable tubing of different sizes, LEDs in varying colors, and others. What are development kits used for? Your choice of development kit depends on the type of switch technology required. Pairing the right development kit with the corresponding switch system is essential to get the most benefit from it. Common switch technology categories include dimmers, toggles, rockers, pressure and reed switches. You can also get development kits for micro-switches. Typical applications include industrial and building automation, smart technologies and medical devices. Types of development kits Three broad ranges of kits are available, each with a different purpose. Evaluation kits allow for testing of energy harvesting technologies. They also measure specific parameters, for example signal strength and range. Generation kits convert mechanical energy into electrical energy for data transfer in snap and rocker switches. This eliminates the need for batteries. Add-on kits consist of adaptors like receiver modules and connectors for wall mounting capabilities. Flexible pairing enables several receivers to operate via one switch and vice versa, increasing usage flexibility.
