New Toggle Switch from knitter-switch is ESD Resistant and IP67 Rated
knitter-switch, one of Europe’s leading switch manufacturers, announces a new toggle switch designed specifically for use in those applications requiring ESD protection and resistance to moisture. As a result, the new MZME-ESD series will interest those involved in designing products and systems for medical applications, home automation and industrial controls.
The UL-listed MZME-ESD series is ESD resistant to 8kV, rated to IP67 and offers a lifetime of 30,000 cycles. The switches feature gold-plated contacts for the reliable switching of even the smallest currents, although the switch is rated to 20VAC at 0.4VA.
The new toggle switches can be supplied in two terminal styles, either solder lugs or PCB terminals and with a threaded bushing for panel mounting. As standard, the MZME-ESD series provides single pole, double throw (SPDT) switching contacts with alternative switch contacts available on request.
The new switches are available from a number of distributors throughout Europe. Samples are usually available on next day delivery. For more information visit www.knitter-switch.com
