                                The MEC switch range

All MEC switches are modular in concept and have been designed to meet different electrical and mechanical specifications. Advanced sealing techniques and state-of-the-art materials are used to ensure maximum electrical and mechanical reliability, even in the most demanding environments.

 

3 main lines of MEC switches

  

multimec®   

  

illumec™

  

unimec™

 

 multimec range

 illumec range

 unimec range

 

multimec® switches are available in either through-hole or surface mounting.

 

Four basic switch modules 3A, 3C, 3E, 3F provide the basis for assembly to produce a wide variety of options of both illuminated and non-illuminated switches.
The versatility of the multimec® switches offers the designer great flexibility in creating unique front panel designs.


A 1mm actuator travel combined with 3N actuation force (300g) provides a strong, audible, tactile feel throughout the 10 million
cycle mechanical life of the switch.

 

An increased actuation force and a "quiet" version are available upon request.


All multimec® switches are sealed to IP67M specifications.

 

The multimec® switches are available with either silver or optional gold contacts and in standard or high temperature models.

illumec™ is the new generation of multimec switches with many LED options: Green, red, yellow, blue, white, and bi-colours green/red, green/yellow, red/yellow.

 

The LEDs are integrated in the switch that is single pole, momentary.
The illumec™ switches 4A and 4F are sealed to IP-67 standard, have a minimum mechanical life of 10 million actuations, a ruggedized construction that accepts 100N force applied to the actuator.

 

illumec™ that is born RoHS compatible is available in either surface mount or through hole configurations.

 

illumec™ has been designed primarily to cover the need for illuminated surface mount switches but also to give an improved illumination and an easier mounting of the through-hole switches.

unimec™ is a compact and reliable switch with a unique contact concept.

 

The unimec™ switch is

capable of producing eight different contact functions depending on the PC board layout.

The unimec™ switch is available in momentary and alternate action models with standard silver contacts or optional gold contacts for

low level switching.

unimec™ switches are

known for their crisp,

audible, tactile feel although

 a "silent" model is also available.

 

All unimec™ switches are available in standard or

high temperature versions.
