Request Information
Multimec? 5 series is the new generation of 3A, 3F, 4A and 4F switch. In principle the Multimec? 5 series is very similar to the 3 series - it has the same pin layout, the same dimensions and the same electrical specifications.

The four main updates are the cap retention system and actuator, three standard actuation forces, one temperature range and possibility of normally closed/normally open function.
