The MPS3 series switch is a robust solution for industrial and commercial applications, designed to meet rigorous standards while offering reliable performance. With a rated voltage of 110 VAC and an illuminated design, this switch ensures clear visibility and functionality across various environments. Its blue color is both distinctive and practical, aiding in easy identification during operation.
Constructed from durable plastic, the switch can withstand operational temperatures ranging from -25 to 70 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for diverse climate conditions. It 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 underscore its reliability and safety in demanding electrical environments.
The MPS3 switch features a contact configuration of one normally open (1NO) and one normally closed (1NC), providing flexibility in circuit design and application use. Its rated insulation voltage stands at an impressive 690 V with a rated impulse withstand voltage of up to 6 kV—attributes that contribute to its resilience against electrical surges.
Equipped with a long handle actuator type for ease of use even when wearing gloves or in challenging settings, the switch operates momentarily which is ideal for applications requiring temporary engagement without latching into position permanently. The maintained positions A, C, B offer additional versatility depending on specific application needs.
With a cutout size of just 22 mm this compact unit fits seamlessly into standard panel designs without compromising on space—a critical consideration for engineers managing complex installations with limited room. Moreover its rated thermal current capacity of up to 10 A ensures that it handles substantial load currents effectively enhancing overall system efficiency.
In summary the MPS3 series offers an optimal blend of durability compliance and functionality making it an excellent choice for professionals seeking dependable switching solutions in their projects without unnecessary complexity or compromise on quality.
