Metal
Pushbutton Switch Series Now with Latching Action
Expanded Function Allows for Greater Application Possibilities
Nu-Way offers a new extension to Schurter's successful range of robust metal pushbutton
switches: a latching-action ON/OFF version, for use in primary or secondary switching
applications. The new MSM LA is rated 30 VDC and 250 VAC with a maximum switching current of
12 Amps. It features two isolated contacts for 1- or 2- pole switching functions.
The switch provides mechanical indication in the ON and OFF positions. The actuator is
raised above the switch housing in the resting OFF state and is recessed into the housing
when depressed to switch ON. The distinct difference in position makes the mode of operation
immediately evident. It also prevents inadvertent switching; for instance in the event
persons or objects lean on the switch. The switch also offers ring illumination in red,
green or blue, which is ideal for use in applications located in dimly lit areas or for
nighttime use, such as ticketing machines in parking garages or security access controls on
buildings.
The MSM LA also carries an IP 67 seal protection rating from the front for use in equipment
exposed to liquids or dust. The shock resistant quality is an excellent feature for heavy
use or high impact areas. The operating temperature range is -25 °C to +85 °C.
Applications include various types of control panels used in marine, automotive and
aircraft; industrial controllers for manufacturing equipment including processing and
packaging equipment; self-service kiosks and vending equipment; public and institutional
security access systems; audio and entertainment systems; medical diagnostic machines, as
well as hospital supply equipment including wheel chairs and hospital beds.
The MSM LA micro switch is UL and ENEC approved. The housing is available with mounting
diameters of 19 and 22 mm. The micro switch is supplied separate from the housing for
pre-wiring before installation. Lead-time is stock to six weeks for standard types. Check
for custom requirements, e.g. point illumination, lettering or variations in mounting
dimensions. Lead-time is stock to six weeks.
