Aerospace and Defense Sensor and Switch Solutions
Custom Control Sensors has extensive experience manufacturing sensors, switches, and transducers to meet various military requirements. From military aircraft and the missiles they fire to large military vehicles, CCS is able to recommend existing products for these applications and more while also being able to create custom devices for unique applications. Patented technologies like our Dual-Snap switches and thin film sensors make our devices more cost-effective, more reliable, and more accurate than other designs on the market.
With Dual-Snap technology, the negative rate disc spring frees switches from the problems of ordinary constant rate sensing elements such as flat metal diaphragms, bourdon tubes, and bellows. Our Dual-Snap switches do not “trace” fluctuating pressures and, therefore, the setpoints STAY set, even in the harshest conditions and environments. This disc spring design makes Dual-Snap switches impervious to surges and pump ripples as well as contact chatter and premature fatigue encountered in conventional sensing elements.
All Dual-Snap aerospace switches are designed or can be modified to meet various military requirements such as MIL-DTL-9395, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-202 or RTCA/DO-160. These requirements, among others, include environmental test requirements such as salt spray and temperature cycling along with physical characteristic tests such as vibration, shock, and acceleration. CCS switches also undergo electrical characteristic tests such as dielectric, insulation resistance, and contact resistance and are designed to meet military-grade specifications.

60 Years of Innovation
Custom Control Sensors, LLC (CCS) has been a global leader in the design, testing, manufacturing and supply of standard and custom pressure, temperature and flow switches and sensors for the Aerospace, Defense, Industrial and Energy markets since 1958. CCS switches are highly reliable devices that utilize a “DUAL-SNAP” action disc spring principle pioneered by Custom Control Sensors over 50 years ago.
