Schurter MCS16 Metal Line Pushbutton Switches
Schurter MCS16 Metal Line Pushbutton Switches offer a simple design in a highly durable construction ideal for applications requiring a smaller diameter momentary switch. A metal housing and actuator encapsulate a base switch with completely sealed contacts and metal snap dome rated IP67. Mounting to the chassis is also rated IP67 with an O-ring secured by a hex nut. The slightly recessed actuator provides protection against inadvertent actuation while also featuring an anti-jam short travel of 0.4mm with a maximum force of 5N. The lifetime rating is 1 million operations. Other features include a switching current of 125mA maximum, a 4VDC switching voltage (48VDC maximum), and an impact resistance rating of IK06.The housing of the Schurter MCS16 is made of zinc-die-cast. Actuators are also zinc-die-cast or stainless-steel. The stainless-steel actuator allows for laser marking, including a host of standard options, or customer-specified graphics. Actuators are available with red or green integrated point illumination, with other colors available upon request. Terminal options include pins for PCB mounting, pins with a soldering aid, or a terminal block for screw connections.
The Schurter MCS16 series is a solution for cost-sensitive applications, ranging from point-of-sale terminals, ticketing dispensing, vending machines, emergency call boxes, as well as industrial control panels, security controls, medical, and audio equipment.
