Image

The new MSMII Indicator Elements, Crafted From High-Quality Stainless Steel:

  • Various lighting surfaces
  • llumination colors across the entire color spectrum
  • Various power supply voltages
  • Impact resistance IK 08
  • Two installation depths

After the successful introduction of the MSM II Switch family, Schurter now introduce the MSM II indicator elements, made from high-quality stainless steel. This unveiling represents a marriage of aesthetics and technology, emphasizing a refined technical approach.

The elegant design and the enormously wide selection of high-quality push-buttons and switches of all kinds form the foundation for the success of the MSM family for decades

Various Illumination Designs
Similar to the new MSM II switch family, the indicator elements are available in various illumination surfaces, including the elegant point illumination, as well as the ring and surface illumination variants. These not only contribute to an appealing visual aesthetic but also provide innovative avenues for visualizing your information.

Diverse Illumination Colors
Across the Entire Color Spectrum: To facilitate immediate information recognition, a multitude of illumination colors covering the entire color spectrum is employed. From classic white to dynamic RGB, all options are available to create the perfect signaling solution.

Power Supplies
Flexibility is a key factor for the success of the MSM II family. The new Metal Line display elements are designed to operate at various voltages (5, 12, 24 VDC, or variable), catering to the most individual requirements.

High Impact Resistance
Robustness combined with elegance – that's what the Metal Line from Schurter represents. The MSM II indicator elements are not just a visual highlight; they also impress with an impressive high impact resistance according to IK08 standards. This equips them perfectly to withstand the challenges of rigorous usage for many years.

Installtion Depth
All products within the MSM II family are available in two different installation depths, providing the developer with the necessary flexibility to choose the optimal solution for devices with varying installation requirements.

Schurter MSM II MO Metal Push Buttons

October 11, 2023

New Generation of Mechanical Pushbuttons made of High-Quality Stainless Steel

  • Increased impact resistance IK 08
  • Increased ESD resistance
  • Reduced installation depth
  • Extended standard portfolio

The MSM push-button family has been successfully used on the market for over 30 years. It is known for its durability, precision and particularly high-quality workmanship. These characteristics - combined with additional features - distinguish the new MSM II generation to the same extent.

Expanded Standard Portfolio
A large number of variants have been included in the standard portfolio. For example, the new point illumination. In addition to point illumination, this also applies to the ring and area illumination variants, which are available in a wide variety of lighting colours. Here, the customer is spoilt for choice. There is a choice of different colours as well as RGB versions that allow individual settings and light scenes.

All lighting variants are available for operation on a 5, 12 or 24 VDC supply voltage.

Improved Features:
The MSM II family has not only improved in appearance, but also in technical features. The most important are:

  • Increased ESD resistance (contact: ± 8kV; air: ± 15kV)
  • Increased impact resistance IK 08
  • Even wider temperature range from -30 °C to +85 °C

Subminiature Microswitch
The familiar MSM push-button with microswitch and switching currents from 100 mA to 10 A is now joined by a subminiature microswitch. This has been made considerably smaller again, so that installation is no longer a problem even with minimum installation depths. This additional design is available for switching currents from 100 mA to 3 A for SPDT as well as DPDT circuits.

Unrivalled Haptics
Increasingly high demands are being placed on design. Intuitive operation plays a major role to ensure the safety of the operating process through clear feedback. Thanks to their unrivalled haptic feedback, MSM switches are very popular, especially in combination with optical feedback (ring, point, area
lighting).
