There’s a Chromalux switch or indicator for every application
Korry gives you the flexibility to define a switch or indicator for your system and application. There’s a Chromalux product to fit virtually any situation and environment, with over three dozen product lines in a range of sizes and shapes—each with many options, for thousands of possible configurations.
For aerospace applications, Korry is an FAA-certified facility, with parts manufacturing authority. In addition, a number of our lines are available to the strict military performance standards of MIL-PRF-22885.
Finding the right Chromalux product
If the products described on this page don't meet your requirements, please use our online product request form or call 206-281-1300 or 800-257-8921 (toll free in USA only). We'll help you choose the appropriate Chromalux product line with the right lighting, legend, number of poles, contact resistance, termination, mounting, and more. Available options vary by product line
Advantages of LED lighting
The Chromalux 318, 389, 427, 428, 433, and 434 lines are illuminated with LED arrays for significant performance and cost benefits. Retrofit and new installation are simple because all required power-conditioning and dimming circuitry are included in the unit. No modification to aircraft power or wiring is required. Life-of-the-Aircraft Longevity
LED illumination has a life of 100,000 hours versus 1,000 hours for incandescent.
Lower Maintenance Cost
By eliminating lamps and lamp replacement, there are ongoing savings in avoided inventory, labor, and lamp-failure AOGs.
Improved Legend Uniformity
LED arrays provide more light sources than incandescent lamps. Color and brightness are more uniform.
Reduced Power Consumption and Surface Temperature
LEDs reduce power consumption by as much as 50 percent and substantially lower the touch temperature of the display face. For more information on lighting, click here.
Poke-Home Mounting
For solder-free installation, selected Chromalux product lines are available with a poke-home connector that snaps into the back of a sleeve. The unit plugs into the sleeve, and pins crimped to the leads lock into the back of the connector. Simple poke-home as well as LRU options are available, depending on the product line.
Simple Poke Home
The simple poke-home configuration uses a single sleeve and requires access to the back of the mounting panel to replace a unit (available for Chromalux 389, 427, and 428 switches and 434 indicator).
Poke Home with LRU Capability
Special sleeve configurations are available for Chromalux 427, 428, and 433 switches that turn them into line replaceable units (LRU), replaceable without removing the mounting panel. Matrices
Korry delivers matrices of Chromalux switches or indicators in any geometry. When replacement of individual bases is not critical, they can be bolted or welded together. For a matrix of line replaceable units, we use products that have an LRU sleeve and poke-home connector system (Chromalux 427/428 and 433) and build a framework to hold the bases.
Control Panel Assemblies
For information about control panel assemblies, also referred to as line replaceable units (LRUs), switch panel assemblies, or lightplate assemblies, please click here. These units typically comprise Chromalux switches and various other discrete components assembled with a lightplate.
