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. Main features 8 x 8 mm h=3.5 mm 2-pole Momentary NO IP67 sealing 1,000,000 cycles B10d - 1,000,000 cycles

Designmec is a groundbreaking round keycap with a personalized deco insert for aesthetic panel designs to enrich the user experience with an exclusive look and feel. This cap solution gives an opportunity to build your own cap without tooling costs. The caps three parts are all customizable, escpecially the deco insert where you can choose your own material and therefore match the keycap to the front panel material, so the operator gets the feel of the material when pressing the button.

The actuators are of high temperature tolerant material and can be mounted before SMD soldering.3E actuators are mounted on Multimec™ 3E series.Main featuresØ6.5 mmStandard cap colors: blue, green, grey, yellow, white, red and black

The Rockermec™ solution consists of two Multimec™ 5E switches, a sealing that also provides functionality and a rocker cap called 10A. Rockermec™ is a compact solution for your high design-in requirements: it has small dimensions, aesthetic design and it is sealed to IP67. Illumination is provided with LEDs on the PCB so you can pick the exact colors you want for your application, even RGB. Furthermore, solution is modular and therefore provides design consistency when multiple rockers are required with different need for cap print, color, and switch actuation force.
