Expanding its popular MSM family of pushbutton switches, SCHURTER has released the MSM LA CS. The biocompatible ON/Off metal switch uses a ceramic actuation surface and can be backlit across the entire surface, making it both visually attractive and especially robust.

The durable ceramic actuator is particularly resistant to scratches, abrasion, chemicals and impact. The standard or customised legends are directly applied to the ceramic material. The illuminated design provides a uniform glow across the entire actuator surface in the selected illumination colour (red, green, blue, white or orange). The switches can be labelled either in black (positive labelling) or in the selected illumination colour with inverse labelling.

The MSM LA CS switch, available with 19 or 22mm mounting diameters, is suitable for use in a temperature range of ‐20 to +85°C. The specific switching state can be easily detected by the latching position of the actuator, which enables user-friendly actuation and, at the same time, prevents inadvertent switching.

In addition, due to the blade-terminal connections, the switch can be wired very quickly. The sturdy stainless steel housing and the scratch proof ceramic actuator make the MSM LA CS switch impact proof and robust. These ceramic versions are especially suited for use in equipment operating in harsh environmental conditions or for applications that require protection against vandalism.
