The Energy Harvesting Generator turns mechanical vibration into electrical energy. When actuated, a mechanical force acts vertically on the end of the generator’s lever. A patented mechanism then converts the mechanical energy generated into electrical energy in the form of a voltage pulse. Please note that this product must be used in conjunction with suitable RF electronics. This Energy Harvesting Generator is integral to Cherry's rocker and snap switches (Rocker – Stock no 8736671 & Snap – Stock no 8736675).
The AFIM-1001 offers a Plug and Play functionality the RF generator is mounted on a board and comes complete with built in RF electronics, ZF protocol wire, antenna and is configured for 868MHz. Ideally suited for easy design in of the RF generator.

Small size, with high energy efficiency
Long mechanical life.
