LD-Series
LD-Series
ELECTRONIC DIMMER CONTROLS
The LD-Series represents a dynamic breakthrough in dashboard technology, with its programmable
circuitry, superior design, and unparalleled performance that affords seamless integration into most any
dash panel. A variety of options, along with superior performance, functionality, and aesthetics assure
compliance with the most stringent customer requirements. Key features include: robust design package
with all components encased in switch housing, eliminating wire chafing and providing cost-savings as well
with minimized electrical connections; IP67 sealing which prevents PCB degradation and eliminates short
circuit potential. Superior heat dissipation is achieved with a heat sink mass which is over 50% larger than
competitive products. Fully programmable circuitry lets the designer decide illumination levels and detent
positions. EMC eliminates electrical “noise” and provides interference-free radio signals. Ease of assembly
is accommodated with polarized integral connectors and an industry standard mounting hole.
