NEW function normally closed/normally open 2013-02-07
MEC has launched a new function option for the Multimec 5 series switches: normally closed/normally open.
Not activated
Activated 
Normally closed/normally open (NC/NO) function means that the switch has an active circuit when not activated and when one pushes the switch, the initial contact breaks and a new contact is made. The function is also known as SPDT – single pole double throw.
Having an active circuit when not activated adds the benefit of safety and security. The switch gives feedback to the system that is still operational and able to function when necessary. There is also the benefit of being multifunctional; the switch has three functions:
- NC (make)
- NO (brake)
- NC/NO (switch over; multifunction).
NC/NO 5 series switch has:
- Life cycles >1.000.000
- Three standard actuation forces: 2.0N, 3.5N and 6.5N.
- Sealing IP67
- Robustness 100N.
- Low contact resistance <30mΩ
- Recommended load 0,5-50mA, 24VDC
Multimec 5 series switches are high performance tactile switches with a wide range of cap and accessory options, including many options in shape, size, height, colour, and illumination.

New caps 1GAS/1GCS 2012-02-13
The snap-on cap range has had addition with 1GAS and 1GCS caps.
The caps are optimised for use with foil overlay, but can also be used as stand alone products.
New caps have 8 standard colour options: blue, green, yellow, white, red, black and frosted white.
Even more, the under part of the new cap series has been cleared, so the caps in frosted white can provide excellent illumination.
1GAS/1GCS are mounted on MultimecTM 5G series switches.
