Multimec 5G

Multimec 5G switch has a large diameter snap-on cap retention system and an actuator levelled with the switch body. The switch series has 3 standard actuation forces and is only available in high temperature material in order to stand today’s advanced soldering processes. Furthermore, the switch can be supplied with one or two LEDs integrated on it in order to provide excellent illumination. Night vision (NVIS) LEDs are also available.

Caps that fit Multimec 5G switches: 1A, 1B, 1C, 1DS, 1ES, 1FS, 1GAS, 1GCS, 1H, 1IS, 1JS, 1KS, 1KBS, 1KCS, 1LS, 1M, 1NS, 1PS, 1QS, 1RS, 1SS, 1TS, 1US, 1VS, 1WAS, 1WDS, 1WPS, 1XS, 1ZA, 1ZB, 1ZCS, 1Z, 1ZW and Aquamec.

The switches has a dimension of 10 x 10mm with a height of 6.4 mm. The switch has a momentary NO or NC/NO switch function. It has an IP67 sealing.

The switch can operate 10,000,000 cycles. Designed for surface mount (SMD), Through hole (TH) or through-hole RAS. The switch has the options of illumination.
