Consumer Electronics

Interlink sensors are used in a variety of applications in the Consumer Electronics industry, as FSRs are especially suited for the size and performance required in personal electronics.

Smartphones and Mobile Phones
Interlink's mobile phone sensors offer designers a wide range of options for dealing with the ever-increasing complexity of navigating through vast menus, accessing features and selecting dynamic content on today's mobile phones. Our patented Force Sensing Resistor™ (FSR™) technology has been used in over 100 million sensors in a wide range of applications. This includes use by some of the industry's most respected handset manufacturers, including Research In Motion (RIM), Samsung, and Motorola. Interlink's MicroNav family of touch sensitive sensors offers designers distinctly different control capabilities-from scrolling, ultra-thin touch sensitive keypads to full 360-degree mouse control.

Portable Media Players
Interlink's sensors offer designers more intuitive options for scrolling through song lists, videos and pictures than traditional 4/5 way switches. Whether you need a simple pressure-based switch, a scroll strip, or a scroll wheel, Interlink has a solution to meet your needs. Industry leaders such as iRiver and SONOS have already worked with Interlink FSR™ sensors to deliver leading-edge designs that are easy and fun to use. Regardless of your design requirements, you can count on our in-house design support team to assist you with the development and integration of a sensor that perfectly matches your unique design requirements.

Game Controllers
Nothing contributes more to a fast-paced video game than a well-designed game controller. The controller is critical to the user experience and is integral to the game design. Interlink Electronics' sensors play a key role in the popular Microsoft Xbox controller, and they have proven their reliability over millions of hours of collective game play. Whether you need force sensing for button input, position sensing for cursor movement, or on-screen navigation, Interlink can provide an interface solution that perfectly matches the needs of your application.

Remote Controls
Whether it's a closed-circuit security camera, a digital home-based music system or a robotic arm, Interlink Electronics has a sensor solution designed for your remote control application. Our products are robust, easy to integrate and easy to use. The sensors can be sealed from harsh environments, and they are designed to stand up to years of rigorous use. Custom remote control solutions for finished products are available for OEM customers. Optional remote control capabilities include complete mouse functionality, scrolling, xy position sensing, and force detection.
