Switches, Relays & Keypads


Metal switch has a larger actuation area

17 May 2006 Switches, Relays & Keypads

The MSM30 from Schurter offers the same robust characteristics as its smaller counterparts, diameters of 16, 19 or 22 mm, but has a larger, ergonomically designed, actuating area for good tactile feel. Actuation force is 4,5 Newtons and contact travel is only 1 mm with a fixed stop. The MSM series provides maximum switching power over a voltage range of 5 V d.c. to 250 V a.c. and a current range of 0,1-10 A.

Built for tough environments, the MSM carries a water-resistant rating of IP67, making it ideal for use in equipment exposed to the liquid spills, drips, leaks or wash-downs.

A shock-resistant rating of IK 07 makes it ideal for use in environments where the switch can be subject to heavy use or impact. A flat front construction of only 1,7 mm provides a nearly flush mounting to the panel surface, which makes it less conspicuous and therefore less likely to be knocked or battered from the side.

Point- and ring-illuminated versions of the MSM are available for applications where optical status indication is desired, such as dark conditions or for disability access systems.
