Product catalog summary

Overview: This document is a technical specification guide for microswitches and actuators produced by Microprecision Electronics SA, covering the MP40, MP90, MP110 series, and their derivatives, along with connection sockets and protective terminal covers.

MP40 Series:

General Characteristics: Features a switching rating of 10A 400VAC, IP40 housing protection, and IP00 terminal protection. Complies with EN61058-1:92 + A1:93 standards and has a mechanical life of 50 million operations.
Design and Construction: Utilizes a snap-action mechanism with beryllium copper leaf springs and self-cleaning contacts. The housing is made of PA6T/X reinforced with glass fiber, auto-extinguishing according to UL94 V-O.
Actuators and Connections: Actuators are stainless steel, with connections via screw lugs. An insulating plate is required for metal surfaces.

MP90 Series:

General Characteristics: Similar to MP40 but with IP67 housing protection.
Design and Construction: Features a snap-action mechanism with a PA6T/X reinforced glass fiber housing.
Protection and Sealing: Ultrasonic welding protects the switching mechanism, though protruding terminals prevent full IP67 approval.

MP110 Series:

General Characteristics: Offers a switching rating of 10A 400VAC with IP67 and IP64 housing protection options.
Connections: Includes push-on clips and plug-in systems, with protective terminal covers for enhanced protection.
Design and Construction: Housing made of PA6T/X reinforced with glass fiber, with a fluorsilicone rubber membrane for a wide operating temperature range.

MP100 Series (Plug-on Connection Socket):

Protection: Provides IP67 protection with sealing rings, secured by an M3 screw.
Compatibility: Designed for use with MP110 microswitches and derivatives.

MP110-Z Series (Protective Terminal Cover):

Protection: Offers IP64 protection for MP110 microswitches.
Design Variants: Available with different outlet configurations and sealing options.

Certifications: The company is ISO9001/EN29001 certified since 1993, with several international approval certificates.

General Characteristics: Specifications for microswitch series MP110, MP210, and MP320, designed for various operating conditions with specific temperature ranges, materials, and protection classes.

Temperature and Material Specifications:

Certified temperature ranges from -40°C to +130°C, with materials like silicone gaskets and polyamide cable glands having specific ranges.
Materials include silicone, polyamide with glass fiber, and fluorsilicone rubber for environmental resistance.

Switching Characteristics:

MP110 series features reduced contact gaps and high switching precision for low voltage and current applications.
MP210 series offers IP67 and IP68 protection for high durability environments, with changeover and off-on circuit options.
MP320 series is a sealed miniature microswitch with IP67 protection for frequent use and long mechanical life.

Design and Configuration: Detailed diagrams and specifications for actuating force, release force, free position, operating position, over-travel, and differential movement for each series, with customization options.

Applications and Recommendations: Suitable for environments with varying mechanical stress and exposure, with recommendations for specific configurations based on load and conditions.

Conclusion: A comprehensive guide for selecting and configuring microswitches from the MP110, MP210, and MP320 series, providing detailed specifications and recommendations for diverse applications.

Specifications:

Materials: Housing and membranes use PA6T/X, PPS, PBT-ASA, and rubbers like Fluorsilicone and Chloroprene.
Temperature Ranges: Components rated for different ranges, with PTFE and Silicone rubber up to 200°C.
Contact Materials: Silver and gold-plated contacts for specific applications.

Procedures:

Connection Types: Via cables or free wires, with specific configurations for different series.
Actuator Installation: Emphasizes proper alignment and securing to prevent damage.

Standards and Approvals:

Compliance with standards like UL94V-O and EN61058, with CSA and VDE approvals.

Recommendations:

Proper material selection based on environmental conditions.
Follow fitting instructions to maintain switch integrity and functionality.

Key Data from Tables and Diagrams:

Specifications for actuating force, release force, and travel distances for different models.
Wiring diagrams with color codes for wire identification.
