MEC Switches

Fine design doesn’t have to be expensive or limited to luxury products. Add aesthetic metal switch design to your consumer-facing self-service applications with Metalmec. This PCB switch solution provides a cost-effective alternative to anti vandal switches while maintaining exceptional reliability and style.Metalmec offers two cap options—10M and 1GCS—that can be paired with the 2M bezel:10M Cap: Features a stainless steel switch front with excellent halo illumination, perfect for applications requiring an illuminated switch.1GCS Cap: A non-illuminated option designed for functions that require legends, which can be printed in positive or reverse formats for customizable illumination.Both caps measure Ø15mm, and the total width with the bezel is Ø22mm. The PCB-mounted design makes Metalmec the smart choice for applications requiring multiple switches in a row or grid, as only one set of cables is needed for the entire PCB, simplifying installation and reducing wiring errors.Mounted on the high-performing Multimec 5G tactile switch platform, Metalmec ensures a long lifetime and robust feedback, making it ideal for frequently used applications and quick interactions.

Increase the safety of your handheld- or limited-space device with the smallest 2-pole SMD component on the market. This high-performing tactile switch will save you space and add security with double confirmation. The switch has positioning pins for accurate placement. However, the alignment of the front panel and the PCB is easy due to the floating caps. Furthermore, the switch has a good tactile feel, especially with the many design options available within the standard cap selection.
