APEM TS Series Thumbstick

APEM’s TS Series Thumbstick is a miniature joystick featuring contactless Hall effect technology to provide long-life proportional control. It is similar in size and operation to ‘gamepad’ controls and is easy to install. Featuring plastic-threaded housing, the product is suitable for high-volume, price-sensitive applications including UAV and material handling remote controls.

APEM is also expanding the series to include an LED backlighting option. With a total current draw no greater than 16 mA, the LED option is suitable for wireless remote-control applications where visibility is low and battery life and power consumption are critical. The backlighting option utilises an overmoulded polycarbonate castle-style actuator to effectively diffuse the LED and provide illumination over a wide viewing angle. It is available in red or blue.

Features include: one or two axes; USB outputs available; IP67 above-panel sealing; pressure washable to IP69K; redundant outputs available; rear or drop-in mounting available.
