A new toggle switch designed specifically for use in those applications
requiring ESD protection and resistance to moisture has been introduced by
Knitter-Switch. The MZME-ESD series targets those involved in designing
products and systems for medical applications, home automation and
industrial controls.
The UL-listed MZME-ESD series is ESD resistant to 8kV, rated to IP67 and
offers a lifetime of 30,000 cycles. The switches feature gold-plated
contacts for the reliable switching of even the smallest currents, although
the switch is rated to 20VAC at 0.4VA.
The new toggle switches can be supplied in two terminal styles, either
solder lugs or PCB terminals and with a threaded bushing for panel mounting.
As standard, the MZME-ESD series provides single pole, double throw (SPDT)
switching contacts with alternative switch contacts available on request.
The switches are available from a number of distributors throughout Europe
and samples are usually available on next day delivery, says the company.
