PBA series Piezo switches Distinctive features Product description PBA piezo switches are based on the principle of piezoelectricity. The piezoelectric effect is the ability of some materials to generate an electric potential in response to an applied mechanical stress. The piezoelectric effect is also reversible; when an electric field is applied, a strain is produced.
