Eaton Moeller Series - SPDT3 xPole Surge Protection

February 11, 2026
Image
Moeller SPTD3 Pic

The SPDT3 device is especially used for fine
protection of user equipment against transient
overvoltage and local protection of sensitive
loads in end circuits.

These SPDs type 3 have a low discharge capacity,
so in order to have a full protection type 3
should be supplementing type 2 SPDs and be
installed in the vicinity of sensitive loads.

Schurter MSM II-Switch with Common Anode Control of RGB LED

February 4, 2026

Schurter MSM

MSM II-Switch with common anode control of the RGB LED

  • Optimised for industrial control architectures
  • Usual SCHURTER Metal Line quality
  • Protection class IP67

The well-established MSM II mechanical switch family is growing. With the MSM II (Common Anode), Schurter is introducing a variant that uses a common anode to control the RGB LED illumination. This combines the familiar robust mechanics with visualization technology for clear feedback, easy integration, and maximum reliability in control and operating solutions.

RGB LEDs can be controlled either via a common anode (+) or a common cathode (–). While with common cathode all negative poles are connected together and the colors are controlled individually via the positive pole, the common anode variant does the opposite: all positive poles are connected, and the color channels are switched separately to ground.

The MSM II (common anode) offers maximum compatibility with modern driver ICs, PLC outputs, and microcontrollers, which are predominantly designed for common anode control. This facilitates integration thanks to a simple signal structure and reduced wiring requirements.

The combination of tactile precision, IP67 protection, robust design, and flexible RGB signaling makes the MSM II switch ideal for a wide range of applications, particularly in industrial control units such as control panels, production facilities, building automation, and access solutions.
