Featured among several of its brands will be a recently released selection of Korry 389 5/8-inch LED switches configured as annunciators for ADS-B global positioning system (GPS) transceivers. They will be available for fast delivery as part of the Korry Quick Switch program.

Korry 389 switches are the OEM switch solution for most aerospace platforms. Under the FAA rule, ADS-B Out will be required for aircraft operating in Class A, B and C airspace, in certain Class E airspace at or above 10,000 feet and around busy airports identified in 14 CFR part 91, Appendix D.
Specific benefits of the Korry ADS-B annunciators include:
  • Latest generation of high-brightness LEDs
  • Delivery as fast as three days
  • Uncompromising performance
  • Mechanical interchangeability with standard 5/8-inch switch installations
  • Options for custom and NVIS configurations
Esterline was the first manufacturer to introduce sunlight-readable LED switches with a patented dimming process, creating a much more robust product for the marketplace by eliminating the need for repairs.
