Sip & Puff Switch

The Sip/Puff Switch translates sips and puffs into independent switch closures. The Sip/Puff Switch has two (2) 3.5mm ports for connecting two standard mono cables or a single stereo cable and has integrated test buttons to assist in application testing.

Strong, lightweight and versatile, the Sip/Puff Gooseneck features a universal mount that securely attaches to tabletops, beds and wheelchairs. The flexible steel gooseneck and the ball-and-socket mount enable easy and secure mouthpiece positioning. The filtered mouthpiece is replaceable and a thin, pliable connecting tube interfaces the mouthpiece to the Sip/Puff Switch with a simple twist connector. The two pressure switches have normally open contacts that close when the user sips or puffs on an attached mouthpiece. These low voltage and low current signaling switches are designed for connection to an electronic device – they are not designed to switch power loads.

• Sip and puff pressure thresholds are approximately 3-inches water column below and above ambient pressure
• Switches carry 40-milliamps at AC/DC–30 volts or less with a resistive load, for millions of cycles
• Dual pressure switch has two 3.5-mm (1/8-inch headphone) connectors. One connector provides both sip and puff events with a stereo cable
• Simple slide switch can be used to change the sense of Sip and Puff signals on the stereo connector
• Passive pressure switches do not require batteries or external power
• Enclosure has integrated "sip" and "puff" test switches
