Metal pushbutton switch features ceramic actuator

The MSM CS metal pushbutton switch features a patented highly durable ceramic actuator. The ceramic material is resistant to scratches, abrasions, impact, and chemicals. It is also hypoallergenic to the touch. The ceramic actuator allows for fully transparent backlighting in red, green, or blue, as well as a newly introduced bright white.

The part has a low profile of 1.7 mm, with an impact rating of IK07. It is rated IP69K for seal protection against liquids and common chemical agents. The microswitch is UL, CSA and ENEC approved.

Different switch configurations are offered over a range of 30 VDC to 250 VAC. Current rating ranges from 0.1 to 10 A, depending on switching voltage. The MSM CS is available in 19 and 22 mm mounting diameters and is equipped with quick connect terminals.

The non-illuminated version offers a translucent actuating surface. Black lettering can be applied directly onto the ceramic material. Negative lettering to produce an inverse effect is also an option.(Contact company for pricing — available now)
