Switches, switching systems and sensors for electronic systems
Pioneering spirit - then as now:
The businessman Johannes Marquardt and the technician Johannes Marquardt began developing switches in the 1920s. They designed and produced them for electrical appliances and power tools. The siblings are considered pioneers in the electrical industry. This spirit of innovation still characterizes the company's culture today.
Marquardt was the first German company to begin manufacturing microswitches (snap-action switches or snap-action switches) - an innovation that had a major impact on the production and economic viability of electronic devices.
The electronic laboratory:
Following the urge for innovation and progress, the Marquardt company established its own facility for product development. As a result, the company pushed the creation of new types of switches and pushbuttons - for electronic power tools, for example. The German manufacturer set a benchmark with the launch of the 1055 microswitch series.
Marquardt employs more than 10,600 people at 20 locations. Its core business focuses on the three segments of mechatronics, electromobility and networking. The electrical components (e.g., switches, sensors, and pushbuttons) represent specialized product solutions for numerous industries and application areas. These include automotive (e.g., off-road and trucks), power tools, medical technology, household appliances and drive technology.

Rocker switches from Marquardt
For controlling the power supply of electronic devices, the use of a rocker switch is recommended. Marquardt rocker switches are installed in numerous industrial and electrical applications, offering a high level of user safety and cost-effectiveness. Due to their low installation depth, they can be used in numerous electrical devices.

Snap-action switches and microswitches for modern industry
Marquardt's mechanically operable electrical components comply with dust and water protection IP 67. In addition, they have an integrated disconnection aid for contact welds and a wide switching capacity range. Snap-action switches are ideal for industrial applications (e.g., automotive, or medical technology) due to their small size and long service life.

Pressure switches and pushbuttons - power-efficient electronic components
Pressure switches or pushbuttons are ideal for use in industrial systems. The easy handling (manual depressing) ensures that circuits are interrupted or closed immediately. Marquardt produces pressure switch variants with dust and water protection IP 65 / IP 67. Apart from the compact design, the electronic components have a powerful switching system for currents up to 16 amps.
Good to know: Mechanical pressure switches have a high level of fail-safety, as no auxiliary power is required. A robust and compact design ensures increased long-term stability - at a favourable price-performance ratio.
