A new catalogue provides an overview of robust and vandal-proof Metal Line input systems.

A new catalogue from Schurter provides an overview of the company's robust and vandal-proof Metal Line input systems The input systems are subdivided into four product families, allowing the most appropriate solution to be selected according to the specific application requirements

Piezo switches are resistant to dirt and have an extremely long lifetime.

Metal switches are vandal-proof and provide tactile input feedback.

Piezo keypads are resistant to dirt and fluids, even at temperatures below 0C, as they have a sealed surface.

Metal keypads are protected from damage caused by vandalism, and provide a high degree of user comfort.

Possible application areas are outlined in the catalogue using precise examples.

All the switches are now also available with the option of snap-in technology, enabling quick mounting, and particularly suitable in applications with limited assembly space, or where there is no access to rear side of the operating panel.

Blue has been newly selected as the illumination colour for the piezo and metal switches.

In order to assist developers and device manufacturers, the Metal Line input systems are listed according to their IP protection classification and according to IK shock protection grades. Request a free brochure from Schurter Input Systems ...
