ESD- and water-resistant toggle switch

11 November 2009 Switches, Relays & Keypads

knitter-switch has developed a new toggle switch designed specifically for use in applications requiring ESD protection and resistance to moisture. As a result, the new MZME-ESD series will interest those involved in designing products and systems for medical applications, home automation and industrial controls.

The UL-listed MZME-ESD series is ESD resistant to 8 kV, rated to IP67 and offers a lifetime of 30 000 cycles. The switches feature gold-plated contacts for the reliable switching of even the smallest currents, although the switch is rated to 20 V a.c. at 0,4 VA. The new toggle switches can be supplied in two terminal styles – either solder lugs or PCB terminals – and with a threaded bushing for panel mounting. As standard, the MZME-ESD series provides single pole, double throw (SPDT) switching contacts with alternative switch contacts available on request.
