Military-grade safety, reliable arming, MIL-STD documented compliance
Select Controls delivers precision-engineered electro-mechanical and mechanical safe and arm devices designed to meet the demanding requirements of aerospace, military, and defense applications. Our engineered solutions include setback mechanisms, G-switches, and configurable acceleration switches with custom design capabilities and proven performance across mission-critical programs requiring MIL-SPEC compliance and rapid deployment timelines.
Category Overview: Safety, Arming, Compliance
Precision switching that supports safe handling and dependable arming in the field. Select Controls delivers military fuzing switches, fuze arming mechanism switch options, and Safe and Arming Device (SAD) components for fuzing systems engineered for mission-critical environments. Each component addresses the conservative safety philosophy that requires ultra-low failure rates—where safety systems must not exceed one failure in a million opportunities.
This stringent safety standard drives our design approach at Select Controls, where safe and arm device switches provide proven reliability through documented qualification processes. Supported by ISO 9001:2015 certification and availability that meets tight procurement timelines, our components integrate reliably into fuzing systems requiring both fail-safe operation and dependable arming sequences.

Built for performance, documented for confidence.
Explore Sub-Collections
Our military fuzing switches address distinct operational requirements across protective interlocks, arming mechanisms, impact detection, and environmental monitoring. Each sub-collection aligns with the multi-layered compliance requirements for electronic arming devices.
Acceleration Switches
Launch and velocity arming switches with activation ranges from tenths of G to up to 15,000+ G. Hermetically sealed with gold-plated contacts for long-term reliability in safe-arm applications.
Impact Switches
High-g impact detection for initiation sequences and target engagement. Designed for instantaneous response under extreme deceleration while maintaining protective interlocks during transport and handling.
Disturbance & Motion Sensors
Environmental monitoring switches that detect unauthorized movement, vibration, or tampering. MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-331 qualified for continuous operation in harsh tactical environments.
Tilt & Orientation Switches
Position-sensitive switches for arming based on launch attitude and trajectory. Verify proper orientation before enabling downstream fuzing functions with documented repeatability.
Application-specific designs and rapid prototyping support unique fuzing requirements with full test documentation. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing processes deliver switches built for harsh environments with complete compliance verification for qualification programs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we conduct environmental testing using MIL-STD-331 methods and provide comprehensive test reports. As an experienced SAD switch manufacturer, we deliver hermetically sealed switches with gold-plated contacts proven in harsh military environments.
High-g switches serve as safety barriers that respond to specific environmental stimuli—setback acceleration, spin, or impact forces. Our acceleration switches activate from tenths of Gs to 15,000+ Gs, enabling precise arming sequence control.
Each switch includes material certifications, test reports, and compliance documentation meeting safety assessment requirements. ISO 9001:2015 certification provides complete traceability and quality records for defense procurement audits.
Standard switches ship within established inventory cycles, while custom designs range from weeks to months based on testing requirements. Our engineering team provides documented delivery schedules during the quote process for accurate program planning.
