The MPS3 series switch is a robust and reliable component designed for industrial and commercial applications, offering a blend of functionality and compliance with international standards. With its rated voltage of 12 VDC, this switch ensures dependable performance in various electrical systems.
One of the standout features is its illumination capability, which enhances visibility and operability in low-light conditions. The blue color adds clarity to status indication, making it easier for operators to identify switch positions quickly. Constructed from durable plastic, the switch is built to withstand demanding environments while maintaining a lightweight profile.
Operationally versatile, the MPS3 series can function efficiently within a temperature range of -25 to 70 degrees Celsius. This wide operational temperature range makes it suitable for diverse settings, from cold storage facilities to heated industrial spaces.
In terms of safety and compliance, this switch meets several rigorous standards including CSA C22.2 No. 14, DIN 40050-9, EN 50013, IEC/EN 60073, IEC/EN 60529 among others. These certifications ensure that the product adheres to global safety protocols and quality benchmarks.
The switch features a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and can withstand impulse voltages up to 6 kV. This high level of electrical endurance is critical in protecting against transient overvoltage events that could otherwise compromise system integrity.
Designed with user convenience in mind, the actuator type is a long handle which facilitates ease of use even when operators are wearing gloves or operating under challenging conditions. The contact configuration includes two normally open (2NO) contacts which provide straightforward integration into existing circuits requiring open contact configurations.
Functionality-wise, it operates on a maintained basis with positions A, B, C ensuring that once set in position by an operator it remains until manually changed—ideal for applications where consistent operation without constant supervision is required.
Rated at a thermal current capacity of 10 A ensures compatibility with moderate power loads typical in many industrial operations while maintaining reliability over extended periods.
Finally fitting into standard cutout sizes with dimensions at 22 mm allows seamless installation or retrofitting into pre-existing panels or control boards making this an adaptable choice across different project requirements within facility infrastructure upgrades or new installations alike.
