<p>For professionals in the electrical and automation sectors, selecting components that meet specific technical requirements is crucial for the success of any project. The MPS3 series switch offers a blend of reliability and functionality, making it a practical choice for various industrial and commercial applications.</p><p>This switch operates at a rated voltage of 12 VDC, providing dependable performance suitable for low-voltage applications. Its illumination feature enhances visibility, especially in dimly lit environments, with a vibrant red color ensuring clear indication. Constructed from durable plastic, this component stands up to demanding conditions while maintaining its structural integrity.</p><p>The MPS3 series switch is engineered to perform efficiently across a wide operational temperature range of -25 to 70 degrees Celsius. This versatility ensures consistent operation whether installed in cold storage facilities or warmer industrial settings.</p><p>Adherence to rigorous standards is another hallmark of this product. It meets multiple international standards such as CSA C22.2 No. 14, DIN 40050-9, EN 50013, IEC/EN 60073, IEC/EN 60529, IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-5-1, IEC/EN 60947-5-5 and UL 508. These certifications guarantee compliance with safety and performance benchmarks critical in technical environments.</p><p>With a rated insulation voltage of up to 690 V and an impressive impulse withstand voltage rating of 6 kV, the MPS3 switch provides robust protection against electrical surges and spikes. This makes it particularly suitable for installations where high transient voltages may occur.</p><p>The contact configuration features one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact setup which allows flexibility in circuit design by accommodating both opening and closing actions within the same unit.</p><p>A short handle actuator type complements its maintained function design—ideal for applications requiring stable positions over extended periods without manual intervention. The maintained positions A, B, C offer additional configurability tailored to user needs.</p><p>Rated at a thermal current capacity of up to 10 A ensures that this switch can handle significant current loads without compromising on safety or efficiency. Furthermore, its cutout size measures at an industry-standard diameter of 22 mm facilitating straightforward integration into existing panels or control systems without needing extensive modifications.</p><p>In summary,the MPS3 series switch combines essential features such as durability,reliability,and compliance with international standards making it well-suited for diverse industrial uses where precision matters most.</p>
