TG0's latest engineering breakthrough — a seamless switch pack — sets a new benchmark for user interface design. Developed with support from the European Innovation Council (EIC), this innovation simplifies engineering complexity while expanding creative possibilities for product designers.
A Paradigm Shift in Switch Design
Traditional mechanical switches come with constraints: multiple moving parts, reliance on adhesives, temperature sensitivity, and limited design freedom. TG0's seamless switch addresses these by integrating sealing, sensing, and actuation into a single silicone-based component:
- **Sealed & Disassemblable:** Fully enclosed for durability, while allowing complete disassembly — no adhesives or bonding required - **Temperature Resilience:** High-cold-resistant silicone maintains consistent performance across varying climates, making it ideal for automotive, outdoor, and industrial applications - **Illuminative Design:** Translucent silicone allows for embedded LED illumination, enabling visually dynamic interfaces and greater CMF design choice - **Configurable Travel Distances:** Designers can fine-tune actuation force and angle, with activation adjustable between 1 to 30 degrees - **Simplified PCB Integration:** Replacing soldered components with capacitive sensing and a single MCU reduces component count and enhances reliability
Unlocking New Creative Possibilities
The switch's modular nature means a single core module can serve multiple applications without requiring mechanical redesign. This separation of internal mechanics from external casing gives designers greater freedom to craft aesthetically innovative products without compromising functionality.
A Leap Forward for Industries
From automotive dashboards to high-end consumer electronics and smart home appliances, TG0's seamless switch has broad industry applications. Its ability to merge reliability, sleek aesthetics, and streamlined engineering makes it a practical step forward for any product that prioritises interaction design.
