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).

Schurter THS Touchless Switch

July 17, 2023
Schurter Logo1.jpg

THS Touchless Switch for Invisible Installation:
• Suitable for use behind all materials
• Allows the designer a great deal of freedom in design
• Precise sensor technology
• RGB surface illumination

Conventional switches often require unattractively large mounting holes in the user interface. Not so with the Schurer THS:  the Touchless Hidden Switch. It can be installed almost invisibly from behind. A tiny cut-out in the user interface is all that is needed and the ToF sensor reliably does its job.

The new Schurter THS works with the proven ToF sensor of the well-known TTS pushbutton. A light source emits light beams that are reflected by the surroundings. The sensor catches the reflected light and the distance is calculated using the constant speed of light and the measured transit time. Highly
precise!

A tiny, barely visible slit in the control surface, through which the light signal can be sent and received, is
sufficient for the button to be activated when approached.

Installation and Application Possibilities:
The switch is simply affixed behind the operating surface. This can be made of any conceivable material without affecting the function. This alllows materials to be selected that are particularly easy to clean. The spectrum of possible applications is broad. It ranges from designer push-buttons to critical applications in medical technology or public application.

Standard and Design-In-Kit:
As standard, the push-button is designed for a glass thickness of 2 mm and is equipped with RGB surface illumination. If other materials and surface thicknesses are used, a design-in kit is available from your Schurter representative, by means of which all specifications can be tested and adapted. In
addition, customised settings such as distance, timing and illumination can also be easily tested individually with this kit.
