November 19, 2007

Schurter Electronic Components has expanded their vandal-proof metal switch to include double pole and sealed microswitch versions. The MSM DP momentary switch is designed with separate switching contacts that can be used as normally open, normally closed or as changeover.

 

According to the company’s press release, applications include industrial, commercial and public access areas where signals are used to indicate when an apparatus is in use or an emergency situation is present.  

 

The MSM SPDT and DPDT feature seal protection that enables the units to be used in adverse conditions where increased humidity, condensation or water may get into equipment. These switches are used in outdoor installations, commercial cooking appliances and industrial laundry equipment.

 

The MSM switches feature stainless steel construction and are available in several mounting dimensions. Standard or lettered versions with optional point or ring illumination are also offered. Pricing starts under $10 for 100 pieces.
