When selecting components for industrial and commercial applications, it's crucial to focus on technical specifications that meet your operational needs. The MPS2 series key-operated switch offers a reliable option for those requiring non-illuminated control mechanisms in various environments.
Crafted from durable black plastic, this switch is designed to withstand demanding conditions with an operational temperature range of -25 to 70 degrees Celsius. This makes it suitable for a wide array of settings, from cooler climates to warmer industrial environments.
The MPS2 series complies with numerous 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, and UL 508. These certifications ensure the product meets rigorous safety and performance criteria essential for global deployment.
With a rated insulation voltage of up to 690 volts and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV, this switch can handle significant electrical loads while maintaining safety and reliability. The contact configuration features one normally closed (1NC) contact which is ideal for applications where breaking the circuit is necessary when the switch is not engaged.
The momentary function ensures that the circuit remains active only while the key is turned or pressed into position—ideal for operations requiring temporary activation without manual holding.
Rated at a thermal current of up to 10 amperes (A), this component supports substantial electrical throughput suitable for various machinery controls. It fits neatly into standard cutout sizes with its compact design measuring just 22 mm across—making installation straightforward in most panels or consoles.
Additionally, maintained positions C and B offer flexibility in how the switch operates within your system's architecture. Whether you need it as part of an emergency stop mechanism or as a regular control interface within complex systems—the versatility here can be leveraged effectively depending on your specific requirements.
In summary, if you require a robust key-operated momentary switch that aligns with comprehensive international standards while offering high electrical ratings and flexible operation modes—the MPS2 series presents itself as an apt choice tailored for diverse industrial scenarios.
