Standards & Certifications
The MRB Series rotaries have not been tested for UL recognition or CSA certification.
These switches are designed for use in a low-voltage, low-current, logic-level circuit.
When used as intended in a logic-level circuit, the results do not produce hazardous energy.

Toggles
Positive detent mechanism for distinct feel and audible
feedback.
Break-before-make contact timing with sliding
contact mechanism.
Metal bushing and frame/bracket provide
durability.
Panel seal, achieved with use of optional
exterior o-ring, conforms to IP67 of IEC60529
Standards.
High contact reliability achieved by the self-cleaning
contact mechanism.
.100” x .100” (2.54mm x 2.54mm) terminal spacing conforms to
standard PC board grid spacing for straight and right angle mounting.
