Multicolor Switches
Proven Metal Line switches with multicolor illumination
Multicolor Switches
Our piezo switches are often used especially in harsh environments. Their main key benefit is their completely sealed surface, which can be activated by applying minimal force to signal actuation. They are offered with a new multicolored illumination.
Seven luminescent multicolor options
SCHURTER expands its MSM Metal Line range with a pushbutton switch series capable of multiple illumination possibilities. The illumination provides a homogeneous quality in a ring illuminated style, or complete actuator area illumination. Status indication is possible in seven different colors in a single product.
The setting of the individual colors is particularly easy to realize by means of the wire connectors, which are conveniently coded. Three flat plug connectors are used to control the colors red, green and blue. By combining several flat plug connectors, the additive colors cyan, magenta, yellow or white can be created.
The new MSM Multicolor family offers the same diameters as the standard ring illuminated version in 19, 22 and 30 mm. The switches with area illumination use a scratch resistant ceramic actuator and have housings with diameters of 19 or 22 mm. Housings are made of robust stainless steel for both ring and area illuminated versions.
High seal protection and impact resistance ratings of IP67 and IK07, make the switches particularly suitable for use in equipment subjected to harsh environmental conditions, or applications that require protection from vandalism.
The MSM series provides a moving actuator, which is ideal for use in applications where both status indication and tactile feedback are desired. In addition to the MSM series, as well the MCS series also with a mechanical actuator, SCHURTER's piezoelectric (PSE) and capacitive (CPS) switches include options for multicolor illumination. Through a complete offering, SCHURTER provides various technologies in metal line pushbutton switches for a host of specific applications.
Easy integration in the customer applications
The new multicolored illumination of the PSE series greatly expands its application range. To make the integration into customer-specific applications as easy as possible, the strands are color-coded in each of the illumination colors and are supplied with a voltage range of 5 to 28 VDC providing a brightness that remains constant in all applications. The standard version is offered in red, green, and blue. Additional color options include yellow, cyan, magenta, and white, which can be made
through additive color mixing. As soon as two or three strands are supplied with voltage at the same time, the result is a mixed color. Upon customer request, the supply voltage, as well as the internal resistors, can be removed. This creates the opportunity to present a broad color spectrum, which requires the addition of a microcontroller in the application to control the LEDs. Enabling, for example, illumination in a specified company color thus supports matching corporate identity design requirements. In addition, there is the possibility of varying the brightness depending on the design, which allows dimming.

Highlights
SCHURTER's capacitive Metal Line switch
SCHURTER's series of momentary and latching push button switches with capacitive touch sensor technology inside. With this product family SCHURTER enters the latest technology trend in push button products on the market.
MSM CS series with brighter and richer surface illumination
Brighter and richer colors create an even more attractive product. SCHURTER is expanding its existing MSM CS and MSM CS LA series with stronger illumination colors.
