<p>When selecting components for industrial and commercial applications, understanding the technical specifications of each product is crucial. The MPS3 series switch offers a robust solution with features that cater to diverse operational needs.</p><p>This switch operates at a rated voltage of 110 VAC, making it suitable for standard electrical systems. Its illumination feature enhances visibility in low-light environments, which is particularly useful in ensuring safe operations and quick identification in industrial settings. The blue color adds to its distinctiveness, aiding easy differentiation from other controls on complex panels.</p><p>Constructed from durable plastic, this switch withstands challenging conditions while maintaining performance integrity. It operates efficiently within a broad temperature range of -25 to 70 degrees Celsius, ensuring reliability across various climates and operational environments.</p><p>The MPS3 series adheres to several international standards and approvals including 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 as well as UL 508 certification. These certifications affirm its compliance with stringent safety and performance benchmarks essential for global applicability.</p><p>With a rated insulation voltage of up to 690 V and an impressive impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV, the switch provides excellent protection against transient overvoltages common in industrial setups. This capability ensures long-term durability and reduces maintenance costs associated with electrical failures.</p><p>The contact configuration includes two normally open (2NO) contacts which are ideal for controlling circuits where an open state is preferred during off conditions. The short handle actuator type facilitates quick manual operation without excessive force or movement required—ideal for environments requiring rapid response times.</p><p>Functionally designed as momentary with maintained positions A, C, B it allows operators flexibility in control tasks where temporary engagement is necessary before returning automatically to the default position once released—a critical feature in operations demanding precision timing or sequential actions.</p><p>Rated at a thermal current capacity of up to 10 A it can handle substantial loads effectively without compromising on performance or safety standards—a testament to its robust design tailored for high-demand scenarios typical within industrial frameworks.</p><p>Finally fitting into a standard cutout size of 22 mm this switch integrates seamlessly into existing panels or new installations providing ease of replacement or upgrade without extensive modifications needed—streamlining installation processes significantly while minimizing downtime during system enhancements or repairs.</p>
