A manufacturer of sub-systems for
walk-behind lawn mowers wanted to provide customers with the
ease of electric start in addition to the traditional
pull-start. The device needed to be adaptable to various mowers
and capable of surviving high in-rush currents.

Cherry used an existing
high-current snap-action switch (a 25-Amp “K Series”) for the
switching function, then built a rugged key switch housing
around the snap-action switch to survive the physical abuse of a
lawn mower application.

For this custom solution, Cherry
employed the following capabilities:
• Key switch design experience
• A broad standard line of high-current
switches available for adaptation and
unique packaging
