The new 16 mm MSM features a housing made of stainless steel with a mechanical actuator for tactile feedback. Actuation force is 4.5 N with 1 mm travel. The robust anti-vandal design, with IP67 seal protection and IK07 impact resistance ratings, makes it especially suited for use in harsh environments. Operating temperature range is -25 to +85°C.

Additionally, the new 16 mm MSM includes signal switches designed for voltages of up to 30 VDC at 100 mA. The power switches are rated up to 250 VAC at 10 A, making the switches particularly versatile when it comes to panel designs combining both power and signal switches. Switching function is momentary N.O, N.C, N.O. / N.C.. Applications for these versatile 16 mm momentary pushbutton switches include: indoor and outdoor applications, industrial, white goods, vendor and ticket machines, commercial kitchen equipment, food industry, lab equipment, audio equipment and elevator control panels to give examples.
