Interlink Electronics makes pressure-sensitive sensors and interface products that let machines respond to touch, force, and position.
Interlink Electronics makes the small sensing parts that let electronic devices feel. Its best-known product is a force sensor: a thin, flexible patch that changes its electrical resistance when you press it. Put one under a button, a joystick, or a medical pad, and the device can tell not just that it was pressed but how hard. The company also builds membrane keypads and other interface panels where a sensor and the control surface come as one piece. So this is a components business — it sells parts that other companies design into their products, rather than selling to consumers directly.
The people who pay Interlink are engineers and manufacturers across industries. Medical device makers use the force sensors in things like patient monitors and surgical tools, industrial firms put them in machinery controls, and consumer electronics and automotive suppliers use them in everything from game controllers to touch panels. Customers choose Interlink because the parts are small, low-power, and flexible enough to fit in tight spaces, and because the sensors are proven and reliable. It is a relationship-driven, design-in business: once a sensor is designed into a product, it can stay there for years. Interlink is tiny. Its annual revenue runs in the low tens of millions of dollars, and it trades on Nasdaq under a small-cap listing. It launched an investment and acquisition business in 2021, signaling it wanted to grow beyond its sensor roots. Like most small component makers, it faces two big risks. Demand depends on how many end products its customers build — a dip in a medical or gaming market hits it quickly — and it competes with larger sensor and interface suppliers that can undercut it on price.
The company is headquartered in Camarillo, California, which matters because it puts Interlink near the region's medical device and electronics ecosystem. This is not a household name, and it is not trying to be. It is the kind of business that makes a small, vital piece of the puzzle and lets the big brands take the spotlight.
