Mains switcher is rugged

24 August 2005 Switches, Relays & Keypads

German engineering and a high-grade stainless steel housing and actuator give the MSM mains power switch its high quality feel, says the manufacturer, Schurter. A range of contact types allows the MSM to switch voltages from 5 V d.c. to 250 V a.c., with currents from 0,1 to 10 A.

With IP67 protection and high impact strength, the MSM is extremely rugged and protected against vandalism. Mounting from the front, the switch fits tightly to the panel, with a height of only 1,7 mm. Wiring is via quick-connect terminals, and the two parts are clipped together, allowing rapid installation.

This innovative design allows highly compact mounting diameters of 16, 19 and 22 mm. Point and ring illuminated versions of the MSM are available for applications where optical status indications are desired. Robust design makes the MSM ideal for security, public information terminals, ticket machines, or anywhere switching is needed in outdoor or unattended applications.
