{{stub}} {{Infobox Company | company_name = Oak Switch Systems Inc. | company_logo = | vector_logo = | company_type = | foundation = | founder = | location_city = | location_country = | key_people = | industry = | homepage = | footnotes = }} Oak refers to a number of companies starting with Oak Industries. ==History== Oak Switch Systems appear to have merged with Standard Grigsby to become OakGrigsby.<ref name="OakGrigsby" /><ref name="Electroswitch" /> OakGrigsby were then acquired by Electroswitch in 2003.<ref name="Electroswitch" /> Oak-Mitsui was created as a joint venture between Oak Industries, Mitsui Mining and Smelting of Japan, and Anaconda. The presence of the Oak logo on a PCB only indicates that the PCB substrate came from Oak; it does not indicate that Oak Switch Systems were involved with the manufacture of the keyboard or its switches. ==Products== *[[:Category:Oak switches|Oak switches]] *[[:Category:Oak keyboards|Oak keyboards]] *[[Printed circuit board]]s Oak Industries Series 225 pushbutton switches share the same logo as that found on many keyboard PCBs. ==Gallery== <gallery widths=250 heights=187> File:BBC Micro -- Oak PCB.jpg | Oak PCB in the [[Acorn BBC Microcomputer]] File:ADM11 Oak logo maybe.jpg | Oak PCB in a [[Lear Siegler ADM 11]] keyboard </gallery> ==External links== *Oak-Mitsui β [http://www.oakmitsui.com/pages/company/mission.asp Company: Mission and History] *FundingUniverse β [http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/oak-industries-inc-history/ History of Oak Industries Inc.] *Electronic Surplus β [http://www.electronicsurplus.com/oak-industries-series225-yellow-led-switch-pushbutton-package-of-20 OAK INDUSTRIES - SERIES225/YELLOW LED - Switch, pushbutton.
