Heilind partners with OTTO on control solutions

Heilind Electronics, a leading distributor of electronic components, is now an authorized distributor for OTTO, an industry leading designer and manufacturer of precision control switches for almost 60 years. 

Heilind will be offering the manufacturer’s products worldwide, with a product portfolio that will include rugged electromechanical switches, commercial and military control grips, Hall effect technology, joysticks, value-add assemblies and other operator controls for demanding environments.

OTTO offering includes custom capability

A key benefit in Heilind’s OTTO offering will be its custom capability. When a customer places an order for a switch or other item, OTTO will be able to tailor the product to suit their specific application. This includes customizing actuators and contact configurations for pushbutton switches; machined heads and mounting plates for grip handles; and input/output requirements for joysticks.

The new product line will include both commercial and MIL-SPEC items for a multitude of industries, including aviation, aerospace, military ground support, marine and heavy equipment.

“We are proud to add OTTO Controls to our list of manufacturers,” says David Goforth, North American director of supplier relations, Heilind. “In addition to being recognized globally for its superior electromechanical products, OTTO has the expertise and in-house technology to fill a broad and diverse range of customer requirements.”
