Robust Metal Switches

Versión para impresora

The robust metal switches in Schurter’s MSM product family are now also available with a push-on, push-off latching function. The switch position is easy to recognise from the resting position of the actuator – in the OFF state, the actuator position protrudes from the housing; in the ON state, it is depressed into the housing. This provides a user-friendly actuating function and also prevents inadvertent switching, (e.g. caused by objects leaning on the switch. The switch is designed with two isolated contacts and so can be used for single- and two-pole switching solutions. The MSM LA can be used at an operating voltage of 30 VDC up to 250 VAC, at a maximum switching current of 12A. The IP67 rated switch is available with a mounting diameter of 19 or 22 mm, and can be used in temperatures from -25°C to +85°C. The design of the new MSM LA is the same as that of the existing MSM product line.
 
The switch is also available with ring illumination that can be used to display the switch position, or activated to provide visibility during night-time use. Typical application areas for the switch include industrial automation, the food-processing industry, passenger transportation, medical equipment, measuring devices, info terminals, vending machines and operating units.
