NOTE: This item is not available for distribution in NZ, please contact us for other products that are available.

Multimec 3C Switches has simplicity and reliability makes it an excellent switch for build-in and over-mould solutions. In addition, the switch is great for overlay as it can still function even if the overlay breaks and an upgrade can be done by changing the overlay and not the PCB, which is very cost-effective.

The switch has a dimension of 10 x 10 mm and a height of 6.4 mm. The switch has a momentary NO switch function. It has an IP67 sealing.

It can operate to 10,000,000 cycles. Designed with surface mount (SMD), Through hole (TH) or through-hole RAS mounting.
